photosynthesising

beneath her body 

i'm photosynthesising 

air enters

my lungs 

through

my mouth

through

her tongue

glittering 

light 

full of life 

and i like her 

how i'm moving towards the sun

like green life 

and life

she gave it to me

someone like me 

just my height

but unlike me 

she's so strong

i don't think it's wrong 

how it brings me to my knees 

every time

neither of us really believe 

in prayer 

in God 

but this is spiritual 

this is my new religion

how the skin of her neck tastes 

how she listens so intently

to every sound i make

for her

she makes them back

we don't text much 

so this is

call and response

impressed

excited 

delighted 

it's electric 

how we're

synthesising 

it must be a chemical reaction

for such heaven-sent attraction

everything before felt nice 

i guess

but this is twice 

that 

my girl 

dressed like a guy

is just like an angel

or even twice that
