<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\n
we go in circles<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
about this dance <\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
the one two step<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
of exploration <\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
cross heat <\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
cross feat<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
and denial <\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
that we could <\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
survive the <\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
silence we <\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
create in the <\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
eye gazing <\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
that speaks <\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
of desires <\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
lingering <\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
cross hairs <\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
cross fire <\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
and explosives<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
ready to detonate <\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
on our command<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
we are captured <\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
not by lust <\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
by longing <\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
lacquered in <\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
the polish of <\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
our language <\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
lessons like <\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
love <\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
producing <\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
picasso like <\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
images on <\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
our skin<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
melanin entrusted <\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
to us by the gods <\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
who separated <\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
heaven <\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
and earth <\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
with clay <\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
and rich soil <\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
creating master<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
pieces <\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
so we could <\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
lay like pieces <\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
that the master<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
blew life into <\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
together <\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
engraved <\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
with <\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
wet <\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
imprints <\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
of slick <\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
heat <\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
not produced<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
my members <\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
below the belt<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
but the heat<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
is still felt <\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
there too <\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
the steam <\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
falls off the <\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
walls into a <\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
pool on <\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
the floor <\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
and creates <\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
a melody <\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
of liquid <\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
vibrations <\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
fans circulate<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
to cool off <\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
the tension <\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
of being <\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
committed to <\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
the moment <\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
your canvas <\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
although clear <\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
of ink <\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
is painted daily <\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
with traces of <\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
arousal and <\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
newness <\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
across <\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
rib cages and <\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
arms <\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
and feet <\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
upon the backside<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
that you have been <\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
blessed with <\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
and the tickling <\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
hair from body <\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
to face <\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
each moment <\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
together is like <\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
an opening <\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
night at an <\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
art gallery <\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
unveiling <\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
the beauty <\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
of your canvas<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
with the swirls <\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
of my skilled <\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
tongue in <\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
paints <\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
of experience <\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
with your <\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
terrain and <\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
the pictures <\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
seared into <\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
your skin <\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
are scorching <\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
like the sun<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
rising in the dessert<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
and breathtaking <\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
as the sunsetting <\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
over the Pacific<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
coastlines <\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
