A man and me
from another time,
both reserved
and absconding,
find our place
in the crowd.
Our ivory feathers shed
as daring hands grab
and misplaced hips buck
with a mutual beat.
We become black and white
and swept around
in musical notes.
With the sustained note
I press my thumbs
to his cheekbones
as my wings blacken
and steal from his lips.
Two simple angels
on Earth;
a realm where
lust and greed
can still melt
into love.

Authors note: The full title does not seem to have gone through. The song is "Greedy" by Ariana Grande.
This is one of my few attempts at ekphrastic poetry, and it's about my favorite genre of art after writing: music. This piece is mostly made up of my visualizations, from both the song and my personal experiences, in response to the music. I hope you all enjoy my take on this song and the images I incorporated! Ciao!
