your tongue the muscle of an oyster soft and squirming


your mouth:
hot hungry mouth moving
teeth like stones grinding
pressing through raw lips thin
mouth taut and quivering love
vase-fragile, a bouqet
of clumsy words

mine:
touching yours,
teeth clicking, lips slipping
the slick, sweet melting of a smile
my teeth the pearls
your tongue the muscle
of an oyster soft and squirming

your arms:
like tree trunks stripped of bark
and set into motion
living, gripping arms flexing
beautiful fat arms pale like fish
circling, crushing the air from my
lunch-bag lungs

mine:
twisting round your neck
choke soft throat and
arms like white felt
full round and flailing
nude and blushing dimples
at the elbows

your hands:
clutching empty hands pulsing
with blood and dancing knots
hands stroking
breathing hands cupping and sifting
in my hair, crawling
big hands cradling soft-baby skull

mine:
against you roving
kneading, dancing across
gripping shot-glass splintering
and splashing over raw knuckles
slapping, pulling at you
knotted into furious bunches of pain

your eyes:
dripping with love flapping
like butterflies chirping
filmy, heat-stroke soaked
drawn heavy sleep eyes
drooping pained and wet
naked and peeled open

mine:
into yours tangling
swimming together
lashing kissing, clinging like leaves
together pupils dilating wildly
water-rimmed, grainy
vision blurred

your heart: thundering horses
mine: frightened rabbit pink eyes twitching
