I want you to make me feel naked everywhere

saying things that make necks hot, face hot

don't have to be so ******, don't have to touch

Want to? Do so, though, don't be so mechanical

swim on, flow on, spill on, no pushing

the things said should tear open, pop seams

wonder what's inside,Β Β beating

running, ebbing, draining, no inspecting, no prodding

a thorough investigation withΒ Β eyes, words

make the most difference, words dig the farthest

fill the fastest, reach to ends that previously had

no end

the end
