FOREIGN TONGUES
Lying in bed with you
darkness on dark skin
creates a dream image
the only beacons of light
are teeth that flash
and beckon me
to foreign tongues
We make love
fucking comes much later
but now I am
a trapped bird
that suddenly set free
learns to fly
Then later
when we fuck
I die so many deaths
inside of you
all my hiding is set aside
I die the death of pride
the death of unfaithfulness
the death of lies
the death of withholding
and with my surrender
my spirit flies

fucking comes much later"
