two souls in orbit spin
Introduction:
When a person meets the half that is his own, whatever his orientation, something wonderful happens. The two are struck from their senses by love, belonging, and desire. They do not want to be separated, not even for a moment. These are the people who finish their lives together. Plato of Athens, The Symposium
billy works in darkness
sells tokens
flesh
and sin
a glory hole
connects
adjoining dreams
two souls in orbit spin
sally visits
every day
doors and lights grow dim
billy hears
what she does not
his dreams
of her
and him
each day at dawn
he watches
hopes
and
yearns for more
her scent
so fresh
it lingers
like seed
upon the floor
sally crooks
her finger
a bulbous
head appears
swollen red
and
wanting
each second
twelvefold years
her mouth
like silk
on satin
her tongue
erases time
in darkness
deep
they whisper
two souls
one
hers
and mine
billy’s
found a portal
sally’s
found a home
two stars in darkness
shining
the dawn
seems
less alone
