Christiana Adwoa Adomako-Ansah

Our bodies are entangled
Lips with lips
Legs with legs
Like darkness entangled with light

Then the cock crows
And dawn breaks for night to be day
Again...
And again we scream each other's names
The laughter...
The voices...

The names entangled
Entangling breath and beads of sweat

Then suddenly
lips untangled
legs untangled
Darkness and light separate

The cock doesn't crow
And dawn doesn't break because the night is still here
But our hearts are still entangled...
