Downward

Beloved, touch me
                                 part|after|part downward
like rainfall.

I want you like how farmers want first rain.
                   I don't want to know where you start,
I just expect you in my body, to be wet.

                   lay kisses on my lips mild|into|mild
like turgid music into soul —
                               welcoming|expecting|gladly
                   like a delayed menstrual period.

let my clothes come off gently like prayers
                  fall my body into yours like devotion
research my body parts delicately —
|there is witful poetry between my legs|.

                  Research my body parts deep, deeply
Till your touches becomes a professor
                  Till I forget my mother and father
Till I forget death, paradise and hell
I am a dishless meal
                                   spoon is not welcome.

Betray every sadness in my body like Judas.
                   Come into my ocean
raincoat and swimming is not a requirement.

|there is witful poetry between my legs|.
