Ask the stems in the glass to bend.
Let your fingers fly, a momentary grasp
slip into spaces, surge in and out of folds
where breasts begin to curve and rise.
Be God. Press your curing skin to mine,
dissolve and pronounce me. Let my eyes
fall out and embed in the carpet, rooting;
my hands arrange the air for you, braiding.
Reluctant sun at the window, open your eyes
burn through the haze with your severe love.
Slide open the bone-zip of my spine,
anoint each rigid peak. Take my limbs
and fold me over. Here's my mouth, hummingbird,
linger there, and hold my breath.
