facades & fingertips

“to be that self which one truly is”

Soren Kiekegaard

take off

your make-up

& your clothes

& please come

to me—

i’ll trace you

all of you

with my fingertips—

(this is much more

than a sexual request)

the tiny red dot

on the bridge

of your nose—

the spider veins

& scars & bruises

over your legs—your legs—

show them to me—

reveal them all to me—

give your Self to me—

give yourself to me—

            because—it is you—

            i am here for—

            my eyes hungry—

                        these flaws of you—

            yes—

            i swear—i shout—

            it is you—these layers of you—

            i am here for—

turn around—

spin around—

roll over me—

            over&over me—

here—i am looking—

looking for you—

reaching for you—

searching for the me of me—

            inside of you—

            my eyes closed—

            watching
