Midnight. Bedtime. Deliverance.


tal-like

curled in the warm lips of sheets-

the cracked mouth of at least seven

dark Arabians swaddled, a camel caravan

three days deep in the desert. The center

in its palm, struggling and wet,

hefted as a Jupiter mount

below the left index.


The static of my house coat sparks

like May, its last great lightning, and the moon

beckoning one flesh to one flesh.

I am serious

when I say: let's strip off our clothes

pull at my hair and your hair like long

coconut fibers. Lean into me, subside

in my skin, hook your fingers

in my swift and flowing water.




Check her out.
