Taste

Intimate strangers,

Cold air nips and steams our breath

taste you on my tongue. 

To Be AND Not To Be

Existential hope

Schrodinger: alive in there?

Silent entreaties. 

Vulnerable truth

Glimpsed koi belly flash
in the sun, fleeting moment
Vulnerable truth.

-YA

Morning Awakening

Sharing time and space

Body heat and dreams entwined

Cold floors jolt awake. 

-YA

Heavy Secrets

If you hold your breath

I will whisper the secret

curled into your ear.

-YA
