purpose

Elena Botts

world explodes
from lips,
an
iridescent
bubble

we walk
on the side
of the highway
in daylight
and once more,
your saliva pops
and I don’t know why,
but I watch

turn my head
a strange profile

aimless are your eyes
they gleam in light,
then in shadow immerse

we clasp hands,
then disengage,
turn around behind,
watch our shadows
pivot like dark strangers
following close and dangerous
at our heels

but then we stride on
like birds on migration,
steady, ground-gaining
silhouettes

our heart beats
swinging along
to the erratic pulse
of seemingly graceless minds

traces of us lie
behind
and ahead
as we move between lines

with all the purpose
of uniquely being
