A Slew of Poems Unrevised

RELATIONSHIP

Opening the body
I break fast
Seeking
wetness
And waves
To feel a current shift my cerebral
Different people
We maneuver
To desperately
fit into each other
Grapping at skin
Hands on hands
Trying to pour love
In the moans
The looks
In the grinding on bodies
On top of bodies
From the couch to the bed
I thought I could discover you
In covers of sheets
That created
Seas between us
Everything that we never were for each other
Relationship
Shipping off
Getting off
On
Imagination
In landing
On dry land
But I keep on coming
And you keep on going
Never ending
Offshore
Uncertainty
Relationship
But where are we headed
I don't want to be lost
in the depths of oceans
Steering in circular motions
Whirlpools of nothingness
Drowning me

Opening body
Water breaks
I am soaked
But never quenched
Relationship?
