beautiful brown man
i wish i can
kiss your eyelids
and hold your hands
against my skin
to feel the brands
the maps to learn me
so, brown man?

i will never leave you
i'll be in every taste on your tongue
each breath in your lungs
i'll be everywhere you've ever been
all the places you've never seen
because we wanted to taste and feel all things together
my absence will be like a second skin
a curse on you to think of me in everything

siren
for you
shivering
as you see
through
thin cloth
to my skin
silk
on my tongue
as i breathe
you in

easy to laugh
and loudly, at that
throwing
my head
all the way back
deep
from my belly
eternally glad
to laugh
so easily
to roar
at the sad

if luck exists
then so does fate
no choice
in who you love
and hate
and what is now
a moment too late
to fulfill the wish
to be insensate
