this is life to me
to enter into that union where my tongue shocks
and delights you in your deepest parts
not to wait for you to rule
all of me
that is to fear my own choices
but that our voices might rise as one
in holy orgasm

only this i want
to eat passionately through to the
center of things

all of my dreams are haunted by insecurities
and dread of what i haven't kearned
what i can't earn
in the moment of baptism
we learn only this
to eat through to the center of things
to kiss god full and all over
to be his lover
