I shifted around

our tectonic plates

so we could both

match our continents;

we were two different islands

sharing one common feature:

two fragile hearts entangled

inside the vines

of cocaine kisses.

You opened the doors to

your beating core

cautious, afraid of the claws,

the scars they would draw

across your skin

and me;

my anonymity frightened you,

and I could feel it pulsating

inside my cocaine heart.
