words by dominic riccitello

in desire i found youth
upon your light twined mind
with ego i bend for you
before beds quake and oceans tide
under skies at night i wade for truth
to be okay with—
 
i find in moods at night
with songs of sultry in the background
in dark corners of an apartment
with dirty carpet
fine tuned minds we utter words
which make no sense
like dark knights on horses in forests
 
we dance to shadows
from waves which make movement
like we used to
and i feel used too
like a collective turned moment
where we’re spinning in motions
creating emotion by strangers in streets
running to abolish our meaning
 
but we’re defined by moments
created by longing emotion
from lovers of seconds to years
spinning wheels in streets
grabbing hands for warmth
for touch, for passion of nights
where we twine under sheets
to tango in skin
where bones touch
but feelings collide
and we fall in love for seconds
believing this is all but everything
but nothing at all
