I want to walk
there will be soft clothes
flowing
I’ll look serene
my hair will be down
and wild
I’ll see you
approaching
a sadness will overtake me
never has my heart
glowed like this
like I’d swallowed the moon
and you the sun
I will fall
like rain
on the earth I am her puddle
her splash of sorrow
her white gown shifting like a cloud
and I am wanting
to be held, to be opened
to be stolen
by night come day come night come day
I want to be held
I want to be lifted
from this world
I didn’t put veils on my
wedding gown
but imagine lifting them
each one
each layer
and lifting my dress
each petal
and then you gather such strength
such lust
for the stars and me
and you want to take us home
to find the star dust in me
you want to hold your tongue
out
and catch the milk of the moon
you want to lick my thighs
and remind me I’m human
and lost
you want to lift the very last veil for me
you want to take us
into every space
come night come day come night come day
you want
to show me
where no thing resides
