            < orange >
.
        pulling the peel back
        sucking the sweet juice
        getting it all over
        my face and hands
        reminds me of you

      < one by one >

	sunday morning

	don't have
	to get up

	kissing
	all
	your
	lips

	one
	by
	one

         < good morning >

          waking to you
          holding my hand
          using my fingers
          to touch yourself

          using your mouth
          somewhere pleasant

               - - -

        < talk all night >


        after a day at work
        after you've maneuvered
        and sold and sweat
        and made your way in the world
        you come back to me

        your voice

        tells me
        what's up
        fills me
        with what i missed
        joins me
        to the story and
        makes me
        want you
        with
        your hair
        and
        your smells
        and
        to bleed all over me

        i want you
        like adam
        i want you
        like eve
        i want you
        from the forest

        come over here
        let's get close
        fuck a little
        talk all night

 < only teenagers can need it so bad >

          texas
          on the way to
          liberty texas
          we
          hafta stop
          to fuck on the hood

            < adultery >

        your breasts were just the right size
        just the right brown
        for the light
        one window away
        balanced between
        the two parts of a day
        our love
        innocent
        but only to us
        and they
        could always be waiting outside
        but not in this room
        where two months rent
        was more than enough
        for eternal love
        for your breasts
        the right size of my hands
        your breasts
        that sucked firm in my mouth
        and the constant surprise
        of your thin sweet milk
        as his baby
        slept quietly beside us

          < flow >

        seeing my mom's underpants
        i asked if she was hurt
        no, boy
        i just do that
        it's ok

        my first sister
        was frightened
        when she bled
        the second
        wrote her name
        on the mirror
        used my towel

        teenage in highschool
        no contraceptives
        waiting for the first blood
        the starting flag
        of a few days
        to do it like adults

        so horny
        we forget the tampon
        ouch
        now you pushed the string
        up somewhere 
        gotta find it
        damn string

        and the sheets
        my mom really
        must have suspected something
        her son doing laundry at 3am
        hydrogen peroxide works great
        and always use cold water
        and sometimes give up and
        buy new sheets
        but what about the mattress
        jeez

        after all this
        it still took years of marriage
        to confidently walk
        into the supermarket
        and distinguish scented(never)
        from unscented
        to grab the right selection

        light flow
        light-to-medium flow
        medium flow
        medium-to-heavy flow
        heavy flow the rivers of blood
        blood to wash us with new life
        blood to wash us clean

            < mowing your lawn >

        Wind that rope around my head
        and jerk-start me coughing from
        sitting in the garage all winter
        but running smoother as i get
        warmed up as you steer me into a
        deep patch and i get hot parting
        your turf with my dull blade fire
        coming out my exhaust but we got
        the rhythm now we're doing the
        whole yard.

                    - - -




      < virgin vinyl >

          make me

   your inflatable love toy

       open my valve

        and fill me

    with your hot breath
