drinking a night’s naivety
down my throat,

my tongue seared at your lips,

in a ploy of breaths,
of tastes exchanged
in a whiskey-gulp.

i bundled my skin together
at a kiss’s knotted-end,

i let my head fall down
the vacuum of your voice.

  1. You’ve packed gorgeous imagery into this quadrille, Anmol. I especially love
    ‘…a ploy of breaths,
    of tastes exchanged
    in a whiskey-gulp’
    and
    ‘…a kiss’s knotted-end’.
