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.

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’.

Hello, I do not understand what you mean by that. How would my posts be appearing on your blog?! I’m not even able to visit your blog at the moment.

Hey, your posts show up in my notifications. I don’t know how it happens. I contacted WP Help Center but they were no help…

Ah, I won’t be able to help with that. You must have turned on the post notifications sometimes.
Even I get to see a notification whenever another blogger posts. I tried to look for a way to switch off this setting but I couldn’t find it. So, I simply ignore it now.
