Scripture

You’ve read my secret words the ones sewn into my skin, inked closed to the heart, under dimmed light, in between day and night
I read yours too and I want to keep reading them up and down
Across your chest
Around your arms
All of the secret words you can’t speak, only show, only press into me, sentence to sentence, skin to skin, your stroy passed into me
I want to read all of your pages
Chapter to chapter, cover to cover, the way one act becomes another, the way two souls consume each other
Alone now, I ache to turn the page
To see what happens next
