To the Flame


Our limbs
flail and stretch
the membranes
of these crowded
corporeal cocoons.
Our bodies
are pressed
breast to breast,
antennae-arms entwined.
We grapple,
feeling each slick
segment
as we complete
this courtship
of devotion.
Our teeth
scrape in gentle
gnashings,
our tongues
coiled together,
our legs lashed, a
True Lover’s Knot.
We are
a nighttime creature
but full of luscious
blushing colors, we are
warm and vital, a
pulsing, fluttering
heart that
seeks the sticky core
of this fleshy
conflagration.
Our breath
is ablaze as we
trade it
from mouth to scorching
mouth
to abdomen
to sparking hearts
and then beyond,
rapture bound.
