+Agloe
+2023-04-02
+
+***
+
+Jett pushes
+push-pins
+into my skin
+to mark points of interest.
+Future road map of Sablade,
+back roads and highways,
+arteries and veins.
+Volcanic activity,
+mass fauna migration,
+cystic acne,
+skin irritation.
+
+Two angels nude on the beach,
+swept up in back-and-forth
+of arrhythmic heartbeats
+and ocean waves on the shore
+and probably fervent copulating
+given enough time alone.
+
+I've become my own home.
+The sand
+in my grasp
+and the water that laps
+around us that Jett snorts in on accident
+and turns her head to wheeze out and we laugh
+is just as much a part of me
+as my own physical body.
+The woman above me is breathtaking
+even as she hides a blush with her hands.
+
+It's not possible for me
+to stop being
+the Anima Mundi
+of Sablade.
+And for once in my life, I thank
+my Meridian blood and its curse
+for the world it demanded I make:
+now I can keep this woman I love safe
+and unharmed in world-wide embrace.
+
+"So much of me
+is wrapped up in you, Lethe,
+that I see you in everything."
+
