I want to tell you
to fuck me—
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxto bring your fingers
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxinto my
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxcrotch and crawl
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx up the sides
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxinto a hole
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxthat welcomes your warmth,

but I don't.

I turn over—
turn in—
and wonder if
what was
can reincarnate…
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxcome back and transform
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxinto
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxsoft
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxbends,

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxsensual zwanzig strokes
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx between breath and cum,
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxfick and dick…

my vagina lies on hard
sheets
that scratch
the surface
of desire and memory.
