In the moment
she said, no one has ever
touched me like this before,
lying there, her back arching
into a perfect rainbow
as banshee winds
tore roofs off memories
inside my bone dry skull
and shredded the moment
into a confetti
of sodden glossolalia
unspoken
the rainbow collapsed
and my fraud remained
as undiscovered
as the pot of gold
I so believed in as a child
but never found.

Oh my goodness, the ache is palpable. The flow spot on.
I understand your experience, so relatable.
Although the subject matter is so achingly sad, I adore this.
Well done, my friend.

I only just now realized I neglected to respond to your lovely comment. I have been in a deep depression for the past couple of months and am just now starting to snap out of it. Ty!
