somebody new

methodically domesticated,
my smile hides inside yours
as a brief phase of passion,
fed by somebody new that's
posting on music platforms,
letting us slip into each other,
ingesting us bit by bit, while
we're trying not to crush love
or correct it with our longing
•
methodically domesticated,
yet, timidly, aching for a kiss,
it's a verse in the waiting …
