expose the wonder. peel my layers back
with persistence and your forked, silver tongue
‘til light unzips my folds and I lose track
and all control; ‘til hoofbeats pound, unstrung
notes sound, in the bowl of my core, the bell
of my temple vibrating, keenly and round.
peel me with your teeth, pomegranate knelled
and bursting, unleashing all the profound,
forbidden mysteries of paradise
throb after throb unspooling like ticker tape,
grazed nerves flushed with brimstone and god light,
making my body, consciousness, soul ache
for more dances with death, more cessation
of breath, more kingdom-come-hellfire-salvation.
