grip, inhale
sharp air stings and exhilarates
tense shoulders release and contract
opposing forces
muscle and bone, move in unison
to carve out my heart
in the shape of you.

lay your hands on me-
I will bend at the touch
all too eager to please
myself.
hungry breath and heartbeat
match the tempo of your gait.
halt your footsteps!
craving fingers clasp your wrist
parched arms will encircle your waist
famished hands discover your skin
and devour your grace
as finally, I am
satiatied.
