Cross-Pollinated.

I let you whisper in my ear when we’re out

And I smile conspiratorially.

Together we are untouchable.

My heart rattles the beat of us

In the sun in the car

With the beach and

Our music speeding toward a house full

Of towels and sundresses

We smell of sunblock

And my sunberry skin

I, slicked with salt, I

And a spattering of sand

With sunned in strap marks

On my neck.

You peel away my

Still damp bikini top

 To see my tiny cold nipple

And warm it with your mouth

Everything is there

My whole world is inside your

Warm mouth.

As the sun sinks our

 Sunburn ascends with

Prickle warmth, itchy

And memory laden

I haven’t been burnt

Since childhood

It is a good pain

I slip between cold sheets

And we lock legs

You palm my belly

My body arches and we slide into a knot

That reaches all the places

And we knotted find

Our own rhythm

The back and forward of love, of lust of

Pleasure of need

And we gently increase

Our speed our muscles harden

I notice a bead of sweat

On your brow

And I think about

Licking it off

I let you quicken

I feel you fatten and plump

You open your mouth and your

Cry coils into mine

What is this moment?

This coming of us?

How loud and unabashed

We are never more vulnerable

Or more beautiful than

When locked in fleeting ecstasy.

My skin is perfumed with you

I have scented your hands

We have cross-pollinated

And we lay

Basking in that

Ancient ache

Dropping into a satisfying

Exhaustion.
