“Your energy brings to mind rivers
The kind that flows between oceans
And carves it’s way through currents
I could make river ends of your shoulders
Waterfalls of your spine
And form pools at the small of your back
Plant new life
In the space where your thighs meet
Summon earthquakes that begin
In the place where your rivers become seas
Etch my name onto your most secret places
Linger there until you are weary
Until you hear the ancestors call you
Until you are faint
And breathless
And awestruck
Lick you clean of the remnants of my love notes
I could lose track of time creating masterpieces of prose on your skin
Until all that remains
Of your ache
Are my ink stains
On your bed sheets.
