Boy Friends

Chapter 28 – Simo’s Notebook

how to drink the moon

I kiss him

set my lips to his.

I drink him the way I drink moonlight

cup my hands

fill the mould with water

lift it to my mouth

take gulp after gulp of the silver light

that flits across the surface.

I drink until there’s nothing left

I lick each finger

I

cup my hands

and fill the mould with water.
