cook me. boil. oil rubbed on my unwieldy

legs, wrapped around you, slippery

with your sweat, panting in my ear,

talk me through the recipe, bite my shoulder

while i cut out the bullet, lodged in ribbed

chest, can you identify me, by the surge

in your blood, while rushing though

tissues. i raise you to a simmer, grip tighter

the congested life i cast away,

from the selection over the counter.

slide around my dictation,

salty, my tongue tingles at the smack

salty, my hands wet with your seed,

salty, like the ocean we roll, waves

crashing over and over.

cardio for your vascular system. ancient magic.

alone, the masculine use esoteric information to gain power; the feminine use it to heal the body. the hermit (magician) and the crone (high priestess). together as a team, they create healthy, prosperous communities by building with one another to develop those individuated practices into shared environmental abundance. the emperor and empress, realized.

coconut oil, slicked down

my legs in your lap, floppy sun hat, a dress

resembling those 1970s knitted hanging pot

holders.

reading a magazine, about bulbs.

barely glancing as you tell me about the day,

wiggling my toes so you rub my feet

while you lecture me.

staring at the empty spaces in the flower bed,

briefly thinking about our dark bedroom tonight,

and considering which color of wisteria

matches the munstead lavender mostest.

and you reach your climactic point -

about whatever it was and i smile sweetly,

lean over and kiss you,

and say "you are wonderful, dear".

and you, pleased with yourself,

nod triumphant, and begin sketching something new.

in every lifetime, i have found them again,

in case i have the opportunity to show you,

in my hands outstretched,

i remember. i still

carry the memory for us until i might carry

the trinkets,

then your fingers interlaced in mine,

if you have forgotten:

i will remind you.

cast like a pair of dice, you and i.

set to be snake eyes staring

at those who seek to defy our choices.

the air like orange blossoms this morning

and i think i will write you

a poem. on the wall.

maybe in a thousand years,

someone will see it and wonder how

they loved so wildly.

and once again, i will find some small animals

cast in brass. because gold is now precious.

and we were real.
