A NANOSECOND MADE A DIFFERENCE
Breathing in and breathing out, I was fully
present when you offered me the first kiss
of your tongue in my mouth with tiny birds
fluttering in wild excitement and songs
I never heard that left me swimming in
burning waters—a forecast of a panorama
of your thighs just meant to be for me.
It would last in spite of monkey wrenches
blocking the road ahead with sheets of ice
we had to ride over with 4 flat tires until we
finally reached the destination of perfect love
that thrived for a lifetime.
