It was that morning
when housekeeping
found us—

your shirt attached
like a leech
to the lampshade,

the beds spaced out
like trenches

with my skirt
lying defeated
between them

& your fingers
deep in my mind.

The shock of seeing
the white flag

of my face

as you burrowed
into my brainstem

& left behind fingerprints
like sleeper cells—

she dropped the vacuum
with a canon blast

& her eyes became
twin flash bulbs.

There was nothing

except the fallout
from my intellectual
radiation poisoning

& her injured whimpers

until your chuckle
filled the room—

the mumbles that
lit my spine
in the dark

made grotesque
in the blind light.

Your body was
in my mind

& I was buzzing—

letting your voice
crawl my channels

& absorb every trace.

oh K.D.

this is actually a
follow up poem
to "Body of Mind" ([link])
which people thought was sexual
when it was more about
the intellectual stimulation
made real.

so what do i do?
make it even more sexual
because it amused me
that people thought that.

prompt:
"housekeeping"

Thank you. It sort of amazes me how quickly I can put myself back in that time to write something like this.

I would say it amazes me too, but I'd be lying - I just know you're amazing already!

actually, i was debating between the poem describing a sexual versus an emotional/intellectual impact before i read your comments. in either case, it's very appealing. the words and notions slither into the brain with ease, and the quick strophes really support the breathlessness of the piece. love it. :heart:

Aha, awesome. I really was just playing around with it being sexual this time but still keeping the first intent-- I'm glad that was easy to pick up on.

Thank you very much. You have no idea how much I appreciate the comments and the faves. :heart:
