2202

I knew it was magic

when our hotel door

on the 15th floor

read 2202

*

We'd be starting the year 2022

in a place that was was inscribed

with the new year's number in reverse

*

"Numerology at it's finest."

"And it all comes down to 6."

*

You thought it was cute

that I recognized that

*

As soon as we walked in

I knew it would be a special vacation

beyond your birthday celebration

There was even champagne, chocolate, and two glasses

waiting on our dining table

*

We explored the room with wonder and awe

Our new home for a while

*

I physically engaged with my surroundings

After all, that is one of my dominant love languages

*

I bounced on the couch after I put down my things

not knowing later

you'd be quaking there

eyes rolled back in your skull

with my fingers gripped on

the reins of your traps and your neck

as my thighs bounced on your body

like you were the bull

and I was the rodeo champion

*

I admired the view of the river on the balcony

not knowing later

my feet would be hugging the beams

with you pressed up inside me

my back arched toward the river

and the glass pressed against my cheek

No fucks in the world if anyone could see

*

I laid on the puffy white comforter of our bed

not knowing later

my head would be knocked back

with you kissing me all the way down

and back up again

as I laid like an angel

drenched in sin

in the white puffy clouds

of 2202 heaven
