Born again Lover by Shannon McEwenFlesh slides
Wetness glides
With the very tip
You flip
Your skilled tongue
Across the very edge
Of my soul
Over
And over
And over again
Until I die
Before my
reincarnation

Posted by Gregory O'Neill on 10/16/09 at 07:56 PM I can't remember who said, "love makes all things new again", something very commercial I'm sure...so unlike what you have done here, your idea, seems to me, maybe only to me, to make us eager to be new again, and afterward, safe within our renewed skin. This is really lovely. Thanks. |
