we drove away
the midnightfishers with the innocence
of our existenceclingingtooneanother like we
hadn’t just met
speaking of goals your
six year plan to settle downme not knowing
if I ever wouldlike we weren’t there
just to fuck

‘You were so
loud I could hear
your moans echoing’

Half a jointlater he’s talking
when he should
be touching
I slide his hand
from around my
waist past my
v u l v a
so his fingers
are on my
c l i t
~~ ✧ ~~ ✧ ~~ ✧ ~~ ✧ ~~ ✧ ~~ ✧ ~~ ✧ ~~ ✧ ~~ ✧ ~~ ✧ ~~
He and I are
face to face.His fingers are
curious. He finds
what he’s afterand I cum
for the first time that night.He doesn’t leave me
stranded as his fingers
lure and liberatemy opulence.
I don’t know
anything. I am
o r g a s m i c A celestial
twinkling. I am salt
and sandI am the lick
of the ocean reaching
for dry land.I was the heat
missing from his
midnight dreams.
~~ ✧ ~~ ✧ ~~ ✧ ~~ ✧ ~~ ✧ ~~ ✧ ~~ ✧ ~~ ✧ ~~ ✧ ~~ ✧ ~~
I release
fistfuls of sandyou use my
arms as leverage
to pull me to
Reverse CowgirlI let you watch
my ass bounce
I let you watch
my ass jiggleas I unmask and become
Tala.

How do you feel?
I tried to make a wish
All I could think was
The sky is a navy knit
I may have made a wish
I don’t remember.

One after the
other bubbles of solace
rise. Each prod and shift
of dick pricks their
e f f e r v e s c e n c e.
They travel from my
f a l l o p i a n t u b e s,
soar over my tongue and
s c a t t e r
into
the
night.

He lifts someone who bears my likeness.
He places his arms under her pits like
she were a scarecrow made of only straw.
He pulls her back so she’s sitting again.
He offers her water. She asks him to put
the bottle to her mouth.
He lifts the bottle.
She drinks.
My seaweed peppered lips
taste like hibiscus and honey
