Loud music is silent, silent thoughts are loud. Is that my heartbeat? Or yours? pounding in my ears My skin writhes uncomfortably on my bones as if it doesn’t belong there. My marrow craves you; my deepest crevice calls for you in a low throaty voice I want to know how your skin feels traveling up my body like your eyes do I want to feel the way your fingertips explore me Are they gentle searching rough h e s i t a n t I want to know if energy flows through you the way it flows through me because my energy sits low in my hip bones I can feel the vibrations formed by the whispers about you My dents and depressions exhale your name into the atmosphere I hope it will reach you, I hope you can hear me wanting you
