Cerberus' kitten

This is the purr

Of Cerberus’ fluffy kitten

That he obeys

The translucent

Ecstasy

Of their barbaric

Fantasy

The perfect silence

Of his orgasm

And her arched spine.

What if this is the moment

What if this is the moment

and your skin isn’t as smooth

as I had imagined?

What if this is us

crossing some stygian nothingness

wallowing

through muddy flesh

and lost innocence?

What if this is our last kiss?

What if it tastes of blood?

Solitary moments

Solitude

Means the second glass of whiskey

And Death Cab for Cutie

Shiny memories

Now gathering dust

Being replaced by eco-friendly models

Solitude is you in Dallas

And me alone in our apartment

Wishing

Not even wishing…just sitting

Empty

Empty and doused in the shadows

Of your valentine’s balloons

Coaxed to sleep by our cat’s wheezing

Not setting the alarm

Love without time

Ancient

Tangled roots

Kaleidoscopically

Twisting ivy

Silk ribbons

Melting in a hurricane

Helices

Spinning lights

At the end of the trail

Of lights

Fading

Luminescent tendrils

Of smoke reflected upwards

La estela de tu perfume

Fingers on an invisible accordion

Naked notes

Liquefied

Into something new

Something resolute

Arpeggiated

Ascending harmony

Sensual chords

Traces of something

I used to be

Before

Something

I wish to become

Like the timid crash

Of waves without a cliff

Like the nautilus

Luminescent helix

We burn

Flicker

We phoenix

Statically charged

Buzzing

We transcend

Orbits crossing

Comet tails

Midnights before

Daylights

Sunlights before

Moonlights

Paleolithic

Kaleidoscope

Spinning

Original time
