“Now that you’ve said you love me…”
BJ Ward
Let us do nothing together but conjoin,
effortlessly...as theory and method.
Let us lean into each other,
press against each other,
become the other… wordlessly.
And let our nothingness
become a playground for our need.
Let our minds roam about
each other’s bodies,
the way our hands and
our mouths cannot.
Let us feel each other’s heat
hear each other’s heart beat—
and let that be enough.
Let our thoughts start
in your head
and finish on my lips.
Let your strength carry us
and my imaginings fuel us.
Then let us get out of the way
and do nothing to stop us.
