I miss my boyfriend . . . and you have to be forced to hear about it! >;-P

like



you feed me from the

heat that you emote . . .

drips out through your pores like light.

your body shimmers & refracts off

the bed sheets like

a sweating jewel in its case. you put me in my place

tonite.

me. perverse.

like you like to watch me

smoke marlboro lights . . . afterwards.

we screw

'til our skins are raw & soft against each other.

it's personal

comma, space. friction that creates an adhesive.

i'm stuck on

you. like we like

like we love to be.



they say

there's an artery that runs straight

from your heart to your left ring

finger.

insert that in my soul & we'll both feel

the shock.

like we like

like we love

to be.

naked & laughing with nothing between us but us.

nothing between us

but to be. a body.

sometimes

our bodies SqUEeeak. & in those moments

we live off of the giggles. sometimes our joints

snap! sometimes i sense you

quiver against me in the night . . .

& i hold you then with all that is my arms.

& we sink into one another . . .



every inch of me has already memorized every inch of you.

touch me.

again.

so that i can know



. . . myself.

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY, BABY!!!
