the separation
of gray matter
against white

hollows the eyes
of watchers chuckling
against black.

the separation
of black skin
against white

We compose ourselves 

Adjacent to intimacy.

Shudder white against

Authentic skin undone.

Humor covers honesty

In shades of

Tension chaotic bliss 

Found pleasure between 

Our own thighs.
