Lace of Your Fingers

by Alison McKenzie

I’m gonna lick the pigment
Right off your flesh
Tantalize every cell
Of your nearly 30 year old skin.

I’m gonna take that enticing
Lower lip of yours
Draw it into my mouth
Like a juicy slice of fruit
Savoring every sensation.

I want to taste you.

Those plumbs below -
One at a time
I’m going to make them happy
Before I climb to the tip
Of your tower
Draw out every drop of
Divinity’s elixir.

Swallowing will be a slow,
Decadent process
As you shudder over ecstatic waves,
Ride the crest to lucidity’s shore
Your fingers laced through my hair
On the exhale.
