they reach out
with arms intertwined
their limbs grotesque in their
spiritual beauty.
giggles disperse
and bodies dancing wildly
in the sluggishness of the night.
they rush towards me
and envelope my breath
in sweet seduction.
drowning my quivering breast
with flickering irises
taking my very sigh and filling it
with ash and remnants of muted passion.
twisted and violent birth
containing spurred dreams
dashed and pulled asunder
against the cruel god
that forces them to forever dance
with death's gorged eyes
watching.
