i sit up in bed.....
skin wet from fever ....
i hear drums and chanting....

i open the window....
a rush of air comes in.....
the cat sits up on the bed.....

the drums are not outside....
they are inside my head.....

still heated and my mouth is dry....
i walk to the ice box and..
open the door
letting the cold air shiver my body....
i grab a bottle of water
hurrriedly drink it down....

i put it back and as i close the door....
i sense you are right behind me.....
in less than a thought....
your hands are there…
feeling like you are touching everywhere..

i feel mouth and teeth on my back and shoulders....
fingers playing every inch of my skin.....
the drums sounding louder...
the chanting more intense.....
my blood becomes lava....
my breath electric.....

fingers moving inside and out.....
I’m begging you now
i shreik as you enter....
i scream to the drums...
i breathe to the chanting....
i make love to the friction....

my hands are clawing the door....
magnets and photos go flying to the floor...
louder and faster the sounds in my head....
setting the pace we are in harmony with....

pounding and pushing.....
i see brilliant light....
and become unaware of the room ....

and with one final thrust.....
explosion of waves....
erupting volcano....
last gasp of breath....
joining as one....
the epiphany is done....

i sit up in bed.....did i hear drums?
