Accidental
 
 
morning after

 
santa fe,  argentina,  knows a secret.
buried in the ruins of a room full
where we spent hours
doing things we were not
supposed to do,  with people
we were not supposed to know

santa fe,  argentina,  has the evidence.
lips locked for liplocked consequence —

santa fe,  argentina,  stole a keepsake
we parted with wide-eyed satisfaction,
skin on skin those backwards nights.
