geography

there's a lot of holes in my life

for example

 

my waist takes as little space as possible;

a curve is formed in each side

in order to be fitted by

somebody's hands

 

and i would like them to be your hands

 

between every bone of my spine

there's a little pause pretending to shape

a path long enough to be toured by

somebody's fingers

 

and i would like them to be your fingers

 

when i stretch my neck i find

angles in my collarbones

a piece of architecture to be traced by

somebody's mouth

 

and i would like it to be your mouth

 

but your hands hold the curves of other waist

and your fingers wander other road

and your mouth traces the lines of other architecture

 

and i have all of these holes

 

and there's a hole in my bed

and i would like to have two
