Layered Fragments, Becoming Whole

Thunder Mink, Earlobe Kiss

A cabin made of windows --
Exposed,
you and I,
our ears tuned to the music of downpour
Peaceful, almost.

Thighs pressing along the outside,
a line,
gaps at the knee and hip,
warm.
Holding hands, safe
my eyes roam to the glowing fireplace
delicious mood,
flames flickering,
licking heavy wood.
Achy warm,
the lines in our palms come alive,
Spreading o u t.

I want --

Naked.

Pelts against skin,
distract me from sky
pelt-ing the roof with long silver
needles
skylight submerged in weeping ocean,
breaking for air as waves retreat
flashes of light fill our eyes,
reflections form shadows
Thunder rumbles,
growing louder
and
l o u d e r
Until we can barely hear our breath.

Our chest mimic the booming
echo chamber


I unravel to pieces


As blood rushes through,
pounding to be let out
I turn toward you,
placing my arms around your neck,
gazing into your eyes --

exposing,

melting,

I bring my lips to yours
wanting
home
