and the rhythm of our youth was sacrosanct

and the rhythm of our youth
was sacrosanct
and the grapevine buzzed though we
would find our news
upon each other's lips
sweetened by old wine and silence

we studied in the book of skin
reading Braille upon our
soft and eager fingers
such stories that the chill would run
marathons up and down

our supple spines
