Aiolos and Aglaia
Our skin’s a splendid pigment blend
of browns and tans and milky white
in coffee creamed and sugared
Bittersweet.
A mighty steed compelled by lust
lays
cobblestone
Beneath the booted commonwealth
and is blessed to bask in the compassion of another.
A hooved stampede of pegasus
riding high
and heavy
panting out steam in long hollow gasps,
while grasping,
Clenching.
It was
nostrils flaring:
A primal storm of
upside downs
complete with shaking sound effects
and earthquakes of the back.
Shifting shoulder plates and arching up
we broke new ground then broke apart.
