the old world exploded, a new one was created out of the dreams I kissed upon your earlobes.

the tickling of not a feather but a piece of heated wax washed over us both.

I used my untrimmed nails to trace over the map of your flesh,

how I got lost and you pulled me back in the right direction,

reminded me of my father and all those basketball lessons he gave me.

me being my father's son inside a woman's bones,

I don't feel like a son inside this new world spinning through my blood veins.

as I became yours, being touched by your love, I finally became my father's daughter.
