“I Want”

I Want.

I want to know Us.

 

I want to know and kiss every inch of those brown tattooed arms

and know the smell of your neck.

 

I want to know those hands on this waist and ass and pulling pulling down

 

I want to know going out together 

into that explosion of bliss and empty light

and coming coming back 

to a sea of spacious sensation

and satisfied leisurely kisses

 

And all this “I want” is fearful.

 

And hidden, in the word, 

 

 “hey.”

What is satisfaction?  

Completion?

 

Only through division

– that unique quality of the conceptual-

can the idea of completion be entertained.

 

First wholeness must split itself into parts-

shadow and light.

you and me.

 

and then the dance is on.
