Cascading

Written by Jacob Ibrag

We take turns cascading eyes over each

others bodies. Neither making a physical

play, cautiously investigating while further

investing towards the growing tension.

Wanting more than traded stares, I give in

and walk away from my safe space. Leaving

behind the familiar, I fracture your bubble

and stand before your presence. Our minds

whisper goodbye, handing over the keys to

our sleeping hearts. ‘May I join you?’ You

contemplate for a moment and nod yes.
