Sunday Sermon [The Tablecloth Trick]

Hola Everybody,
My access is limited on weekends, so this is all I have to offer to you today. Here's hoping there's gratitude in your attitude... 

The Tablecloth Trick

Love says

let's get down
in the pit of your fears
and wrestle
hip to hip.
Let's swing
the maypole of lust
through your butterflies and
free their belly dust.

Love says
let's pry
your dirty fingernails
from the antic box
where howls and yelps
flutter and scratch.
Let's pull the thread
that unravels
your naked source.

Love says
let's slide
through the rollercoaster
of your heart
upsidedown
and run our toes
through the muck.
Let's bowl
in your mind
and scatter the knobby pins
of your fort.

Love says
let's do the tablecloth trick.
Let's pull
out the smooth assumptions
you squat over and see what's left.

Love says
let's tickle,
let's scuffle,
let's go eyelash to eyelash
and see who blinks first.

Love says
I want
everything.
I'll devour you to
the last earlobe.
Then,
we'll play.
