The warm coconut smell
That I knew was tanning oil
but it sealed our closeness,
making us faraway and secret.
Days were dragging us,
Leaving lightly beaten paths.
Strange and timeless.
Strange the unexplained pain.
Strange how we escaped together,
And the strange overbearance of coconut oil.
Somehow we cast an unforgetting spell
However vague and hidden
we opened everything
and looked in.
except each others eyes,
Out of everyone
I will not remember your eyes.
Sharing the uncomfortable pile of yourself
Landing at your feet
Only to forget it until later
Only to forget you until later
Only to remember I didn’t see you in the eye,
That it wasn’t about finding you
But about letting you break apart.
And as you did, I could too.
Something no one had ever let us do
A strange movement we could not refuse
Once invited.
A strange way that we found together
That will never find us together.
And how elusive mornings and evenings crowd around
Unlikely lessons
