you on top
and me under
your breath hot in my ears
on my neck

a tingling
that races up my spine
heating my blood
pounding in my ears.
my heart throwing itself around
in the prison of my chest
demanding release
from the guards that are my ribs

then freed
it leaps into my throat
my cry is mangled
my fingers cling to you
your shoulders
dusted with freckles
my teeth, finding their place
burying themselves
as you bury yourself.

all i see is darkness,
humid with our sweat,
sheets clinging to me
and i can muster no words
as i sit
listening to you breathe
