WHAT ONLY LOVERS

Once

during our travels Once when we stopped in one of those hot unbearable places at one of those nameless hotels Once after our fifth shower of that day you stretched across the hard bed let your wet hair

hang over the headbo and slept.

the slow rhythm of your steady breath dark red nipples stood erect the black hairs

on your legs your legs mountain climbing

legs Saturday night dancing legs legs for wrapping

my friend became

an ocean and i wanted to be taken

by each wave a roach rushed across

your still arm and i envied it Once the moon fell the stifling air cooled

against you the whole room was eden

taking a taste of you...

and i wanted to taste you just. Once.
