The Blood & The Bones

it’s the words that come

just after the rush…

as I am flushed

breathless

chest pulsing toward the sky

legs agape and glazed in the wash of us

I am a mess and a masterpiece

divinely and wholly his

after being used so rigorously

so deliciously

good girl he says

and I am ready to do it all over again

the blood

& the bones
