Heat slips up our shirts, sweaty beads of *** We twist our clothes, grabbing at flesh, groping for *** The hard squeeze and pressure is scooping out the soul— Please, push it out, we want to be left bare and have *** Our skin is strung together, our bodies hollowed, dry; Blind to the heat and the mess, we’re swept up by a blissful, empty *** The sheets, salted with sweat, are heaved off the bed, Pillows gone, clothing gone, here there is nothing but *** Gasping and shouting, we purge ourselves, we are nothing— I am pure and vacant, I’ve rushed my blood to my groin for *** And moments like these are strained and stretched. Then, release, the moment falls from us as wet as *** Like sheets, pillows, clothes, the rest of me returns: Too tired to move, I listen to our breathing, short huffs in the air after ***

Ghazal: We Want to be Left Bare and Have ***
Heat slips up our shirts, sweaty beads of *** We twist our clothes, grabbing at flesh, groping for *** The hard squeeze and pressure is scooping out the soul— Please, push it out, we want to be left bare and have *** Our skin is strung together, our bodies hollowed, dry; Blind to the heat and the mess, we’re swept up by a blissful, empty *** The sheets, salted with sweat, are heaved off the bed, Pillows gone, clothing gone, here there is nothing but *** Gasping and shouting, we purge ourselves, we are nothing— I am pure and vacant, I’ve rushed my blood to my groin for *** And moments like these are strained and stretched. Then, release, the moment falls from us as wet as *** Like sheets, pillows, clothes, the rest of me returns: Too tired to move, I listen to our breathing, short huffs in the air after ***
