Between Stars & Silence

Almost, with Heat: Double Tetractys

Hush
Lean in
Chili breath
Fingers pause, slow
Heat curls laughter between barely touched wrists
Pepper dares mouths to flirt before the kiss
Smiles scorch us both
Eyes argue
Almost
Wait

    Jaideep — “Heat curls laughter between barely touched wrists” really stayed with me; the tension there feels palpable. This feels electric to me.
