the shape of your temple,
the soft inward
curve, as my fingers followed
the laundry of your head,
made me want to tie the clock’s hands
behind its back.
you let me eat your face,
lick the skin beneath your eyes.
love’s speech is a bite.
you finished your food.
i am licking your plate.
the soft inward
curve, as my fingers followed
the laundry of your head,
made me want to tie the clock’s hands
behind its back.
you let me eat your face,
lick the skin beneath your eyes.
love’s speech is a bite.
you finished your food.
i am licking your plate.
