Literature Text

hear the rain radiating from rocks sub rosa.
we percolate unspoken words, unwritten truths,

condensed particles of what could be
rolling off intangibles, but not the tongue
made of roses. we are playing the rain
over susceptible skin and i am fading

through your stomata. enfold me in your petals
before i evaporate away from you.

i am transpiring through leaf-lined avenues
to weight the air with leaden cloud ready to weep
at the pressure of lips, the press of hands enfolded.

your slightest breath hints at a heat wave;
i can't handle your humidity. everything you
are to me is soaking through my bones and
i am helplessly, hopelessly wanting.
