THE MIDNIGHT BETWEEN US
wrap around me like a coil
your hand a vice around my throat;
all the need in the world
not enough for you nor i
the moon watches through the windows
and i keep you for myself
as ordained by my love and desire
when the sun rises
the imprint of you dances
across my skin in some lovely fashion
as if i were the most beautiful thing
on the earth,
made solely for you;
teach me how to drink you
how to know you and consume you
give me your prayers
there is everything to wish upon
in the touch between us
