Immorality Is A Type Of COVID

My lover tags our kisses and cuddles Immorality.
She says her body is God's temple,
& a cuddle sets her ablaze/
God runs out screaming.


She says after every kiss,
She struggles with her breath trying to pronounce God's name.


She says so many times in her room, she had uncoupled her body to sanitize each part with prayers of forgiveness.
She no longer wants to contract immorality because it is highly contagious between bodies in contact;
So whenever we are to see, we stood few distances apart.
