The Warmest Kind of Gravity
I was clipping white waves with soft fingers
On the bow of your seagull swoop;
I was stringing red matter like putty
Between tendrils of peach.
I was kissing velvet with velvet
And water with water made clean.
I was swiriling white pearls with chocolate,
Falling through unhinged spaces.
I was drawing conclusions like bodies
And piping hot bodies like conclusions.
I was mottled and close to you like warm coffee,
Fringed with green lace through seduction.
I was mapping out skyways with vigor:
Dancing precariously on the tip of a pen.
I was waiting for the crash of burgundy
But all I felt were your arms!
I was answering to blue minnows
Under the ice clear water by my feet.
I was twisting my form like truths
And I did not, do not, want it to stop.
