faith

i should know by now
      promises pressed against bed sheets
                                    are not covenants

no communion rests on your tongue
         no witness or signature
                             binds us

a sermon
    delivered to my conscience
                           falls on deaf ears


     it's been too long since my last confession


i'm probably channeling cinderella again
          but tonight
           i'll eat this moment with sharpened teeth
                                  breathe with borrowed breath




     -  summoned by prayer or seance
              you appear in my bed
                        whisper promises to my thighs

       
                              and I believe you

pure lust i feel in every since..no matter the right or wrong--this is about ___. What i like about this is you have a way of setting a scene as emotionally erotic than it true and striking.

[Sometimes Blood]

this is an amazing piece.

[Cory Barrett]

Mary this is a wonderful write you have here. I read it a sense of longing and action with out concerns to consequence, but it could be so much more. Really lovely.

[Wandering Minstrel]

A thoroughly well written piece which is easily relatable to almost every one of us at one point or another. I really love the simplicity here and the way you write always makes me think. Thank you for that
