something happens
when you enter
slithering deeper into auditory canal
reverberating inner drum, cochlear spiral
transforming
into light
.
i hear you with all of my body
your vibrations slowly shaking me awake
down the neckline
dancing across shoulder
you glow at my fingertips
urging them to swirl
and like a hawk circling
further you move down my torso
and enter my hips
the most sacred of caverns
old lives stir
and begin to sway
by your magic
the dark and empty
comes alive
and soon i am moving across the wet grass
a choreography radiating
without a thinker
just you and i
responding
.
sometimes i stop
and let myself feel you
whirling inside my center
i let you dance while i stand still
i feel the way you pulsate
and the galactic nature
of the cosmos
whirling
whirling
whirling
and then i return
to letting you move me
sway me
use me
especially those dark beats
to those i kneel and wander
to those i submit
some vast and shadowy realm
comes over and i’m alive
in a dream and we’re here, breathing
.
then
i open my eyes
and see i am surrounded by others
all in their own stream
of relation to you
that we’re all engaging with your sensual field
and i put my hands out and touch it
this whirling
whirling
whirling
invisible
sexy beats
dancing together
through our skins
.
i don’t even have to touch the humans
perhaps
someday
i’ll touch the humans
and be able to withstand the shock
for now
i can feel you, expanding past their lines
you fill in spaces
and weave us loosely, in and out
closer and further
in silence, we merge
not touching, we fuse and detach
over and over
with you
with this strange, strange thing that you are
with this strange, strange thing that we are
these beating blobs of energy
whirling
dancing you
.
what about you makes us come alive?
where is it that you come from
and do you return when the song is over?
i don’t know what i would do without you
how i would possibly bring myself back to life
but on this dewy lawn
squishing tickling metatarsals
sunshine dappling extremities
and wind shaking fur
and you
and you
and you
pulsing
whirling
through all of us
alive
.
Letting Go
