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.
