WE CAME FROM THE WATER

 

 

WATCHING THE SUN ON THE SURFACE

 

 

MY SIBLINGS AND I TWITCHED AT EVERY RIPPLE

 

 

DISPERSING, GATHERING

 

 

WE GREW STRONGER DAY BY DAY

 

 

UNTIL WE BIRTHED OURSELVES 

 

 

INTO THE AIR

 

 

I WAS AT ONE

 

 

WITH THE SUN AND THE BREEZE

 

 

DRUNK ON THE NECTAR OF RADIANT FLOWERS

 

 

FLOATING THROUGH THE WORLD

I WANTED FOR NOTHING

 

 

THEN I MET HIM

 

 

MY MATE

 

 

IT WAS INSTINCT

 

WE MOVED TOWARDS EACH OTHER AS THOUGH PULLED BY AN INVISIBLE FORCE

 

 

OUR MOMENT OF PASSION WAS LIKE A LIGHTNING STRIKE

 

 

ENTWINED

 

WE HURTLED THROUGH THE AIR, OUR BODIES THROBBING WITH LUST

 

 

I HAD NEVER FELT SO ALIVE

 

 

EVENTUALLY

WE LOOSENED OUR EMBRACE

AND WENT OUR SEPARATE WAYS

 

 

I WOULD NEVER SEE HIM AGAIN

 

 

BUT HE LEFT ME CHANGED

 

 

I FELT

 

 

A STRANGE NEW THIRST

THAT DROWNED OUT EVERYTHING ELSE

 

 

SUDDENLY, SMELLS GAINED A DIFFERENT QUALITY

 

 

THE FUR OF A FOX

 

 

HIS VEINS PULSING UNDERNEATH

 

 

THE SWEATING BODIES OF HUMANS NEARBY
