forewarning
your lips are stretched apart
by your tongue
and my lips hold them down
waiting
for the feeling of muscle against teeth
again
the sweet release
and i told you in every way
but with words
i want you.
our bodies crush together
holding me down
one way
and then the other
while we breathe
so slowly
afraid to squander
all our oxygen
in case this cell means
we die.
and i hope
that when we die
we just feel nothing
just the relaxation
in our chest and muscles
as what was set to end
collapses
slowly on us both
i hope you need me,
like i do.
