Kelly lied.
Ben taped my bleeding fingers.
Antoine complained about the summer heat.
Gina said yes to the invite.
I made a cute shoulderless top.
Tess looked at me and my body wanted to swim into her arms.
All the warm and soft lovers we are.
We bit our tongue and ran around.
Telling ourselves,
We will play for one more round.
Hoping,
Waiting,
Gathering,
The Courage to jump in,
To hold hands and dance,
until our hearts becomes our skin.
