they’re different fingers
swearing at me
one would never think
of down comforter
and fireplace
bubbly
and opium

but for the slow sure
unleashing
into the moment
of my fear
when their tips press
hands contoured squeeze

filthy fingers
i like to think
burst through
the man/woman thing
make me yours
i’ve always been yours
now i am yours
differently fingers
hands thighs
hold me down

before muffled
i whisper the plea
that answers
the desire
you’ve become
sudden and hot
yes
i tell you yes
to all you need
not say
