NaPoWriMo 2025 - day two

you loved women
you loved books

you lost yourself
in both

the knowledge of bodies
a body of knowledge

this story we dive into
opening it along the spine

touch both sides
every surface a door

inside, outside
left, right

tell me where
to put my hands

how to hold
the book of your body

how to fold
myself into you

a confession
a new myth

NaPoWriMo 2025 – day one

the fool says
in his heart
there is no God
the fool says
in his heart
there is a God
i was a fool
for love and so i remain
a fool
i have said
so many foolish things
i regret still
so many foolish things
done in secret
in my heart
in my mind
every foolish word
spoken or not spoken
in my mind
every body
that ever fooled me
believing
i knew the truth
such a fool
falling fully
into every
embrace
so full
of foolishness
this heart
so fully
convinced
of every word
still so foolish
and still
not yet full
