high times for patroclus

'come! my legs are anxious and my heart is bared.'

i much prefer the version in which
they did not sleep together, legs intertwined
mouths caressing. i am so much happier
with the version in which
they slept side by side, hearts touching

'i felt your mouth and i knew every pair of lips that it would kiss and i thought 'okay' but i also thought 'each and every lip is a gem and a blessing and i have nothing to be sad about' so i knew that anxious legs and naked hearts maybe didn't matter so much.'


'how did you know?'


'i loved, a lot.'
