lyrics

Fire
after Chrystos

I’m licking the salt off
this beat pulsing in me
both hunger
& hope

all the freedoms hard fought for
everyone who came before me
my gratitude

I’m saying my prayers here
making my offerings

My mouth shape
the arches of your feet
trace your bones
ankles
the inside
of your thighs
breathing every
part of you deep
into me

This is play like cubs
at your armpit
at the tendon’s edge, my lips
at the soft hair & hollow
tracing a circle
at the centre
of my palm
over your nipples
hard up against my hand
like buds

You make my collapse
all fire then water
my mouth’s
drug suck & your long slow

outbreath

The light pales on your breasts
sloping to sternum

I’m pressing
into your ribcage

plunging
into your hips

holding you down

Joy
joy
rise you up

sweating
make joy with you
from the tissue in my throat
ululating tunnel
raking my fingers
down the folds of your back
leaving marks

The sun’s rising it’s dawn
I’m anchoring
into the flesh of your ass
weaving my elbows
through your
soft legs

trailing to the waters

to drink

You are fresh
the taste of ozone, blossom
the sea come in rush

making to you inside now
like a dream world/ sensate

all of my
whole hand
in you

rocking
