I've always found collabs to be a little strange and....very seldom do I comment on them. To me they normally feel disjointed but this one doesn't and I think it's because you are talking to each other and don't try to disguise that fact?

It's also very eloquently written and hints but doesn't cross any borders...sensual without any smut.

Well done guys....enjoyed it!

First of all: You two are so talented! How nice to have two of my favorite poets pen something :) You work well together; this piece flows and I appreciate the effort put in to using complimentary words and sounds. The slant rhyme is delicious, and some of the images you painted are truly beautiful.

Not sure if I'm putting to much personal stock into how I'm interpreting this - but it's very bittersweet and sad to me. Despite the intimate, sentimental tone in the first half - I take that this is a casual encounter, for at least one party. Love the use of 'malleable,' 'fickle,' and 'disavowal.' I'm also growing fonder of your use of opposing images and emotions tied to certain words, such as with 'chapel' and 'dirt' in the third to last haiku.

The last one threw me off a little, it's not my favorite. However as a whole this is a wonderful, sensual, intriguing piece.

My absolute favorite bit:

Undressed to the rain,
map on your nape, blinds agape
your thighs astraddle.

Brilliant! Congrats on the win. As in at life ;)
