i will wade out till my thighs are steeped in burning flowers I will take the sun in my mouth and leap into the ripe air Alive with closed eyes to dash against darkness in the sleeping curves of my body Shall enter fingers of smooth mastery with chasteness of sea-girls Will i complete the mystery of my flesh I will rise After a thousand years lipping flowers And set my teeth in the silver of the moon
Can I come to you as I am, in secret- brimming with the need to be held? Can I lay hot whispers on your skin then taste how they make you feel? Can I show you how to touch me, how hard to press? If I cry can I hide salty tears in the soft curve of your neck? Can I bite, ever so gently, before I scream? Can I be your lover, without you loving me? Can I, please?
