between bars they
kissed forking*
each other's accents
the dew of her southern drawl
collecting, oh–honey!
the voice of his short epsilon
gasping, ε–ρωτας?
Keys vibrating
spark-ignition for an I-10 ride
Me and Maggie**
to make out
speeding in the interstate
toward slowing time
in the interstices
of each syllable
marvels dripping
in the interstices
of each syllable
marvels dripping
skin dipping in
