By Ilya Rozanov
I.
: capable of existing together in harmony
Careers in a collision course
Contact sports can only have competition
Hitting pucks and winning pucks
together
exists only in my dreams
II.
: capable of cross-fertilizing freely or uniting vegetatively
A cruel combinations of chromosomes have colluded to
prevent pregnancy
Its not like we haven't tried
III
: capable of forming a homogeneous mixture that neither separates nor is altered by chemical interaction
the shape of his name on my lips
between our hips
fit together so well
the a distant memory
When our fingers are intertwined
In shadows and forbidden meetings
nothing separates our souls
and I forget what it felt like to carry my heart alone
IV
: designed to work with another device or system without modification
Cruel geographies cannot keep our hearts away
I will rearrange my entire life
if only to gaze at the constellations under his eyes
