💞💗💗💕💓

lipstick on my blue checked dress hand between my legs, in front of my house, eyeless in the dark my breath held like gauze to a wound whenever I get myself off sweat that carpets my skin, moss and dead brown leaves, even in the thick of summer the answer to womanhood buried somewhere there, in between my pores, small as a cell, large and windowed, that secret lodged underneath my fingernails the long white scar underneath my breasts exists only when you're looking for it

God give me a lover with two hands broad as kites wide enough to catch on the wind of my expression able to stand against me at my boldest able to soar when the storm dies down / God give me a lover whose eyes are gasoline leaking straight from the engine of her heart to meet with the inferno rising up in mine to set off a reaction visible from space / God give me a lover with an enchanted tongue that slides like a curse word past my parted lips let everything he says drip with good intention let his teeth give just enough that I can pull the goodness out / God give me a lover whose shoulders form balance beams strong enough to bear my thighs like battle gear the river's mouth poised at her waiting smile the tension of muscle as she leans in to drink / God give me a lover with a voice that carries through walls across planes of existence like a butter knife through margarine light enough to lay across a whispered promise light enough to wake me when morning rolls around / And God when you have given birth to this monstrosity set him loose on me like a plague of frogs in my bedroom, in my bed, into my house and inside me in my heart to make his home there, never to be torn out

monstera plants, shag carpet, unshaven legs, and a sense of longing. (for the prompt submission thing)
