Kissing Cousins by E. A. PughWe are 280,000 light years from the center of the Milky Way.
my hands are beginning to dry out
we don’t know
how we got here
last you'd remembered we'd
been embraced.
My bodily water
and
your bodily water
hangs around us
fractal iridescent droplets like
soap bubbles glisten.
I think of the last water I’d dinken
280,000 light years from the center of the Milky Way
water does not know where to belong
our water hangs
in fractal droplets
light years from the center of the Milky Way
our bodies water is slowly displaced
Legs locked in a deep embrace
sticky salted skin
mutual release
and then suddenly
we disengage
to find ourselves
in outer space
slating skin
we measure time
by the iridescent pearls our bodies emit
As we hover
280,000 light years from the center of the Milky Way.
Last thing I remembered
Was us
Loving with lust
Cumming in unison
Then boom
We are thrust
280,000 light years from the center of the Milky Way.
Time measured in perlecent orbs
currently there are hundreds of iridescent
bits of my body’s fluid suspended in the blackness
I wonder how long we will last
loosing all that I now realize is earthly
water
all that was water
most of what was me
all that was water
most of what was in you
you look like a bag of bones
sagging skin
Michael Jackson’s nose
how did we get here?
280,000 light years from the center of the Milky Way.
Why?
Why?
was it our sin?
Did God move us here?
Because of our united lust?
Was it our sin?
Why?
Why?
Slowly
280,000 light years from the center of the Milky Way
thousands of bodily fluid droplets
scatter away from us
they start to look like stars
and your body has lost all form
dust to dust
we have become
a milky way of our own.
we died
sort of
our water we brought here looks like stars
