We traded rhythms, two drummers
drumming across a valley.
Cryptic scrawls:
a transcription of suspirations.
I read your lips to discover
a flagrant denouement.
Subtle ink blots
chattered ambiguously.
Our bellies' rainbow:
the locus of our dazzlement.
You were supernatural:
a Himalayan efflorescence.
Scarlet banded flames
reveled within your mantic gaze.
You with me, I with you:
variorum readings of reality.
Two skeletons stuck
in coral embrace.
