Clasp

a poem about bodies and love

Bodies are built for affection

deep bellies with searching

always wanting laps

pawing hands

pulling and straining

         we seek the womb

         wish to curl up against it

         soft butter skin

         and sink into the warm lapping

         milk oceans

         pounding to the heartbeat

         buried in the breast

our bones are hidden

the death body

muffled by fats

and juicy morsels

of hair and eyes and freckles

built for the lovely decay

of human love

             seeking the warmth

             of the sugar cube kiss

            to prove our

             rushing river veins

            are not alone

                not alone

                   together alone (clasp)
