two warm bodies pulse
into the black night
two brains
shimmer in between veins
of streetlamps
tonight he straddles
the fuel tank
underneath its engine
gurgles and mutters
like an actor
lost in monologue
they pour onto the freeway
four eyes pump and ignite
with ecstasy
the road stretches
like a careful corpuscle
headlights and cabins of steel
shuttle past them
her arms are woven into him
he feels stronger when he rides – she says
they share a heart
they share the air
crawling through the arteries of their egos
and slowly it will coagulate
into the depths of their minds
when it’s over the purr of a heart
continues through chapters
of slumber
two chests rise and fall to
the rhythm of dreams
