Two souls in orbit spin

two souls in orbit spin

billy works in darkness

sells tokens

flesh

and sin

a glory hole

connects

adjoining dreams

two souls in orbit spin

sally visits

every day

doors and lights grow dim

billy hears

what she does not

his dreams

of her

and him

each day at dawn

he watches

hopes

and

yearns for more

her scent

so fresh

it lingers

like seed

upon the floor

sally crooks

her finger

a bulbous

head appears

swollen red

and

wanting

each second

twelvefold years

her mouth

like silk

on satin

her tongue

erases time

in darkness

deep

they whisper

two souls

one

hers

and mine

billy’s

found a portal

sally’s

found a home

two stars in darkness

shining

the dawn

seems

less alone
