Companion Piece to "Consumption and Consummation"

By Gerard DiLeoPublished 2 years ago Updated 2 years ago 1 min read
Serve when ready.

The sums of all processes

The chemistry, the electricity

The bases and acidity

Warm me up to you

.

The thoughts that whir

That collide and careen apart

Falling into vectors of sorts

To warm me up for you

.

Temperatures rise

Exchanges will smother

Our breaths into each other

In the warmth that comes from you

.

We live and breathe as one

A bellows in and a bellows out

Hissing the sounds of hope throughout

Boiled and spilt warmly over two

.

Companion poem to the piece, Consumption and Consummation.
