An evening of forbidden euphorias lit by battery-fueled candlelight. Rejection of multi-hour epics for the comfort of childhood cartoons. Comparing tempo to beauty between sleepy giggles and extract oil. Scraping happiness from wet concrete. Peek-a-boo sunlight on taped wrists. A war drum pulse guiding splintering feet. Tepid raindrops on a bare back. Languid clouds with seams of pale. Wide-eyed flirting with sleep while my shadow keeps watch on routine.
