Usual Words


Usually I wanna 

capture love

the essence of 

the messy stuff 

that sticks

to the roof 

of our mouths 

and halts our speech

makes it hard to see 

makes you 

everything 

I ever thought I would need

usually 

that's me

but lately maybe 

I'm someone else too 

someone else who

sees other things

wants other things

wants words to work 

at settling 

these nerves 

I wanna write about love

but honestly also

I just wanna fuck

I just wanna know 

how your mouth 

presses down 

on me low

in slow certain circles, 

or wait 

better yet figure eights

hands pressed 

at my waist 

I wanna know 

about that heat 

that I feel through your shirt

if that steam 

will warm me and my hurt

I wanna know 

how hot 

you will feel in my palm

how hard it will be 

for you to stay calm 

stay on 

this wave with me 

I wanna know about

the length of you 

the strength of you 

these thighs 

wrapped around 

attempting to 

contain your self 

I want these words

to carry the weight of us

wearing nothing more

than sweat, and salt 

and all 

that good good God

that should result 

from your tongue 

on my neck at my pulse

hard hands on soft flesh

smooth skin on wet wet

minds at a loss for real speech

just gasps, moans, sighs

deep 

at the back of throats

at the brutal strokes

at the end of OH's

usually I save this 

writing thing 

to cradle love

but tonight 

I don't remember that word

cause honestly

all I wanna do 

is just...
