funny when i feel that pulse
slide thru the slit in my lip
beating along with uncertain quiver
swelling to catch my eye

an offering made
to passionate advance
filtrate,
capture
abandoning this skein...a swoon

a spin in sweltering heat
i'm upside down in a swirl
infinity shapes time
nowhere, nothing

a gasp
a surge of breath
return

a blush of palest ripe bloom
tulips

an offering accepted
an affair to rise with eager limbs
awkward no clumsy no
just restless abandon

this moment,
claimed

intoxicating
