lyrics

~

(this is the part of my body where divinity touched me,
a rough approximation of where and how it was felt
and why it felt that way and who felt it and for how long)

a ten-thousand-eyed-something-staring-you-down,
a gaze that sears and boils the skin
for just an instant and then it looks elsewhere.
uncountable sets of jaws snapping shut on your phalanges
before lifting to show you unscathed.
a hand that teases and does not provide orgasm.
it arouses you, which disgusts you,
which arouses you
because you're no stranger to denial.
to be tied up for centuries,
all along knowing that you'll be set free tomorrow.

we stepped away from love, pages at a time,
until flames consumed the library.
we emerged, soot-soaked, with nothing left to need.
sat and prayed for the safe passage of what we'll never read.

no way to know how many.
nobody counting, no need for it now.
fully aware of what the other hands are doing--
i watch them all let go at once,
trust, and follow suit.

twenty-seven saltires i've found my self affixed to,
ninteteen explanations for what was done to my soul,
nine attempts to get even,
none successful.

i do not lose control anymore.
i only give it away.

~
