make/unmake. our lips; the soft way warm water suspends your limbs; your breath; the flavour of a star's collapse the exquisite implosion the grandeur of an end and blood pulsed into fingertips.
weave/unweave. your hipbone juts into the pit of my knee; the decadence of lavender whorls crushed; the fat of my bicep; your back the grooves of your ribs; the dissolve of morality.
yes, i could vanish into this. perpetual weave/unweave. make/unmake.
