I shut down sense screaming
wounded
to know him.
My eyes starless sockets;
cauliflower ears chocked, congested earth
lies unheard
ever unknown.
Conscientious proclivity;
brain salacious tool for overt sensory sullying.
No guilt to bluster up the brainwashed bannister;
to atrophy amorous.
Deconstruct desire to minute meaningless malign;
fucking joy before love is made.
I saw him with my tongue.
Flat, long, wet sweeps of salt,
tightening, shifting, spinning.
Light streaks flicking over raised bumps quivering;
bitter tang astringent.
Perceiving man.
Pheromones twisting tantalising
knots;
deeply drawing on his scent.
Sweat beads, sucking shallow breaths;
desire flaring hormones,
swelling sounds answering carnal craving.
Essence of man.
I heard his truth with my hands.
Soft fingertips painting over watermarks grown old,
thickly scarred.
New colours for contours,
caving against streaks of rust; nails scraping.
Hearing moans in muscles straining;
hips thrusting towards healing,
teasing, intimacy studied.
Base certified profoundly.
Paralysing power of self-awareness;
heightening hedonistic cognition,
escaping into the knowledge of
him.
