thank you for this body with which i can feel you

thank you for this body with which i can feel you

Earth and i commune 

this morning. 

 

She paints her sun’s rays 

like fingertip 

down the front of my neck 

warm 

creeps under the edge of my shirt 

finds my collarbone 

 

her cutting chill breath 

slips down my throat and 

into my lungs 

sending sudden and delighted 

shock 

across my nerves’ 

skin. 

 

Do i even have 

surfaces enough 

to take in 

the obscene and abundant pleasures 

she presents? 

 

Earth and i commune 

this morning. 

i groan.
