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