inVenice

browncouch;
an angelic figure
dressed inred —
redlips, highheels:

begging for kisses
inVenice, promising
a return to wholeness;
infolding ]haziness[ —

jasminewhisper, silk
time-bend-ing beneath
heels: forgetting| e c h o e s
with each kiss bestowed —

lingering hushed breaths,
inspired exhale — the name
of a city slipping from parting
lips; whispering rain on silk
