I want what I want
when I want it

with all its
tongues & touch
with fingers reaching
the breath the linger

there will be no past
no future only now

the silk dress you
will buy me will be
all that remains
and the poems
I left for you
in the closet upstairs
where we thought there
were secrets
but we’re not

everyone knows
everything always

the touching
and loving even
when floating and lost
you carry me beside

we wander together
we love enough
when we forget
lips and teeth
sink in
tight and firm
we never hurt
in night as
you roll me over.
