--I ONLY BLINKED MY EYES

What I Need Most Now

I need the long, steady

march and pull

of your kiss. 

I do.

I need it now.

Make me shudder, please. 

Make my bones rattle. 

Rip off all of my leaves. 

Toss me in the air. 

Suture my tailbone to yours. 

Ride me. 

Stomp me, please. 

Stamp your kiss

through my pelvis. 

Ensnare, dissect and

devour me, please. 

Incite my skin with your

cinnamon needles. 

Unglue my insides,

confound my dreams again. 

Suck every piece

of my fruit dry.

Make a mess. 

Go ahead, please.  

Yes, please.

Let me suffer. 

I need to. 

Bring me your ocean

and watch me drown. 

Curl my toes. 

Knot my fingers and

joists with your lips. 

Shoot me through the current,

the rapids and high tides. 

Drown me again

and again, please.

It’s what I need most right now.

Show me how to die and

not regret a thing.
