Abstractions
Deep in my mind, void of harsh realities consisting of dangerous situations, gender laws or regret, lives “fantasy.”
There is you and I
…and others
Many
A single pulse
Ignites
A want so deep you almost beg for it
But that is not necessary here
Bodies quiver
Have spiritual experiences
Talk in tongues
Fire
We take turns
I give in
I give it up
And I take it
In and out of you/ me
Feeling the power of the thrusts and thrashing
I am responsible for it
I feel the pounding
I pound
Flashes
Flickers
Fast
Bodies stretch out
Heads roll back
Arch
Reaching for more
Overwhelmed with pleasure
They make tired, whinny cries one produces when unexplainably exhausted
And yet, we want to remain right here
Hands grasping at sweaty glistening Black/Brown bodies
Breasts and cocks
Chests and cunts
Drops fall to the ground
And pay homage
Heavy breath on neck
Inside of him/her
In me
Font/ back
Holes filled
Anchored
Keep me here please!
Eyes penetrate
Mouth widens
The silence is loud
Eruptions ensue
Boil to the surface
Breath halts
Stops
Heart pumps loudly in ears
It is not heard but felt
Between our legs
We flap our arms at the edge of this mountain
Wanting to fall but maintaining
Holding on
Hold it
Arms give in
And we accept
Feel
Let go
Soar
Then fall
Hard
Fast
Downward
The wind chokes you/me
Our pulse is quick
Then slows
The path to death feels so good
And we are bought back
Strong hands
All over this pulsing body
Kneading
Inserting
Wet lips
Mouths
Tongues
Engulf every inch of them
Bringing life back
Naked
Wet
Breath
Alive
