#bigthinks

i want to feel that you want me

i want your hand sliding up my dress

put your kisses in my cleavage

pull the sleeve off my shoulder

i want to feel that you want me

please whisper in my ear that you want me

i want to feel your smile as you bite my neck

my pulses amuse you, my moans please you, my whimpers empower you

i want to hear you laugh at how easy i am

i want you to tease me while you make me squirm in pleasure

how many people would it take to fill the room we're in?

standing side to side, one in front of the other until there's no space left

i think i'd like to learn each of their names

their favorite colors their favorite songs

if they have pets and what they're like

until a seismic shift causes a fissure

and everyone is sucked into the earth like a newly opened drain

call me an angel

sit with me in the back pews

and make me feel holy

our lover

who art a sinner

hallowed be thy touch

thy wicked tongue

thy will be loved

on earth as it is in heaven

give us this day, our daily kiss

and allow me these trespasses

as we allow those who transgress against us

and lead us deep into temptation,

then deliver us more evil, amen.

make me feel every inch of this church, brick by brick

lay me bare on the linoleum floors

anoint me with your holy liquids

will you lay in a roadside meadow with me?

feel the warmth of the sun, the tickle of the bees, the softness of the grass

hear the cars and trucks and busses drive past us, honk their little horns

blast music and toss trash at us

think of the peace we'll have there

we'll watch the clouds collide and combine and break apart

we'll share our deepest troubles and our wildest dreams

kiss me between the dandelions

we exhale as we move closer and send the seeds far far away

to do as plants do, to do as we do

will you stay with me as the motor revs, loud and scary?

as the grass and the flowers and the mushrooms and the critters around us are grounded up

first our feet

then our calfs

then our thighs

then our hips

then our stomach

then our chest

then our shoulders
