Tangled Legs

mine all stringy and prickly

yours powerful and poised

mine climby

yours jumpy

mine with tan lines

yours with... tan lines

...

don't move

my breath

slow

irresistible

tidal

her limbs

lie

diagonal

on my chest

claws

sharp-poised

at my throat

in her

sweat glistens

on her skin

smile on her lips

circles in her legs

words swirl

in my pants

...

morning drum

called by

jungle drum

femoral

under fingertips

under your spell

i drift in

joyful sleep

original desire

i dance to

this drum's beat

curiously syncopated

with my own

...

gardening

dirt gathers under

weather beaten nails

my heart's hard scales

soften and fall away

decay to feed

new flowers

...

busy

knotted roughtumble

high piled windblown detritus

circle still centre

...
