I like dirt gritty and uneven beneath<\/p>\n
my hands; knees wearing<\/p>\n
the shapes of ancient rock beds<\/p>\n
the risks\u00a0of forest floors<\/p>\n
with their hidden sharpnesses.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Give me the grasp you don’t<\/p>\n
know is too tight;\u00a0hips forward<\/p>\n
head back in deepest roar –<\/p>\n
your strength the tie that binds us.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
I want the aching dust to burst;<\/p>\n
bead into our sweat, smashing<\/p>\n
like\u00a0atoms where we clash.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
A cave, an open dirty expanse,<\/p>\n
desert flat, untamed garden;<\/p>\n
a hot sun scalding me<\/p>\n
where your shadow does not fall.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Mouths open to dropped water<\/p>\n
from the sky, catching the calm<\/p>\n
to renew the rough;<\/p>\n
beasts beside a moody sea.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
I know myself best as the animal<\/p>\n
slurping brute power and the<\/p>\n
rush of pleasure’s brand of nothing;<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
let my softness make you stronger<\/p>\n
and\u00a0take me down into the blackness<\/p>\n
we all came from.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
