Cruising through city streets 

my hand in yours 

a moment is a home a touch that makes you question god a breath - what is sunlight what is a drop of rain? 

With you not quite

Whole, but at the very least an ephemeral motion where for so long

there was but a standstill soul. 


The author's comments:

I was inspired to write this piece by my observation of the intense yet fleeting infatuation that is ever-present in high school relationships and young love in general. It is, in essence, a commentary on how this blinding infatuation (or love,if you really dare to call it that) is so consuming in such impressionable minds yet only lasts but a second.
