rose bushes and cookie jars

two lovers in a rose bush,
hiding from the rest of the world

two hearts in a cookie jar
tightly, neatly packed,
hidden at the very back of the cupboard.

two stomaches tied together,
two pairs of lungs sewed into one another.
trembling hands glued to shaky voices
with ants crawling under their skin
....

two lovers in a rose bush
hiding from the rest of the world.
