Close

To have you here
doesn’t imply you‘re near.
But I want you close
no thing between us.
No clothes, however thin
no hair, even air
at least parting skin.

I’d sneak under your surface
strip you bare
straight through your ribs
I really don’t care
taste your flesh
pulsing and fresh
claw to your heart
the most intimate part.

Take it into my hands
no walls, no fence
so close and free
so very exposed to me.

I’m going to steal it
just in case
you‘d refuse to give it
on a voluntary basis.
