mutual exhaustion. we go to make late night food. I drift towards the dishes; he leans towards the cooking food. below our waists, our hands magnetize for an idle moment.

I lie asunder
heaped in my own
lights

and you

layer by layer.

hi there, you

handing them back

to put together
again.

Jake has made our living room an incredible sanctum of creativity and bizarre interests. Jobu, Poirot, Jake’s grandfather, and the Cat from Outer Space smile upon us. all is well in my soul.

I love kissing. If I could kiss all day, I would. I can’t stop thinking about kissing. I like kissing more than sex because there’s no end to it. You can kiss forever. You can kiss yourself into oblivion. You can kiss all over the body. You can kiss yourself to sleep. And when you wake up, you can’t stop thinking about kissing. Dammit, I can’t get anything done because I’m so busy thinking about kissing. Kissing is madness! But it’s absolute paradise, if you can find a good kisser.
