A Wish List
My # 12 for National Poetry Month
the thoughts I speak to no one
find utterance in the first
rays of morning sun
as i feel myself fall
through you
feel your skin give way
wrap itself around me
feel two heartbeats in the place
of one
I want your desire to form in me
feel it take root
press itself on my tongue
until wet with you
I find myself.
i want to fall through the dry wall
next to me, feel the paint crack
and the sheet rock
fill my nostrils
feel myself grow smaller
i want to find every hair and molecule of you
in this bed
find my way inside
the richness of your laugh
the air around you
when I wrap myself
into you,
I remember
the way home.
