ANIMALS

last night i was pressing myself against you trying to soak you in. like sinking into a hot bath and wanting more and more. you growled when you were holding me and i thought of you as an alligator, but you keep talking about owls. and the music grabs ahold of that idea and dances it across the room; alligators playing instruments, trumpets and horns. the sound of the train is still circling through your bed, a centipede crawling over us slowly.
all my thoughts are going in and out in a loop.
we share a candy bar and i wipe my fingers off on my dress and lean my head on your legs. you remind me of someone i've always wanted to be with but never have. a man sitting on a porch with me, drinking coffee, in the louisiana swamp land, looking out over everything we own together, grass and mud and trees. canoes sticking out of the water.
this is greater than i imagined it to be. he's great.
the time passes so so slow and we move the same way. slooow, slow.
