Osculate

My pulse kept awake
Imagine a hand, a mile of darkness
Carbonated heart, shaken
Incomprehensible, pleasurable
Close your eyes, navigate the mirror maze
Fractured syntax where two curves touch
Calculate together their most accurate tangent

Bring every nerve into writhing life
Define interior and exterior space
To map, two continents dance
Every contour etched by flame
Your skin a sail filled with wind
Your eyes shut open
Your mouth inside out
You burn like a match
