Saying What We Mean

Saying What We Mean

It may be
that other people
are
so busy

filtering our expressions
that almost nothing
gets through
to them.

The way
around this
is
 to communicate

with
nothing
to filter
out.

Our tone,
our gestures,
our pitch,
our facial expressions....

every affective marker
becomes a barrier
to freely
communicating.

Let me
demonstrate.

"I want
to taste
you
with my lips

wrapped
around
your
 clit.

Can you
find
time
and space

in your
life
for
that?"

This will
either be heard
as an invitation
or

something
that triggers
a self-conscious
rejection.

I allow
for either;
I accept it,
regardless.

Either way,
I have let
my intentions
be known.
