To read without breathing
between these fragments of words
find me
with your lips
here, press your finger to them
now and say tongue
nipple waist toe
belly button earlobe
Neck offered
a wrist exposed

These things we hide
to discover
beneath beneath
like crying or dreaming

The laughter we seek
as destination, a drawing-
bodies as bridges
arched spine arm elbow thigh
warm blood coursing
below the surface

The thoughts sent to air
or paper
The perfect wisdom of bodies
creeping into our imagination
to slake this craving
where it’s warm and quiet
to change the way things are
today

I felt something inside when I read it - and that's one of the reasons for art - to feel something.

Not just excellent........GREAT!

"oh i like that" :heart:

lost in a private world
with nothing and everything
two blankets wrapped in each other
disappearing magic cloaks
protection from all the world
