Who Rolls Waves
for M.G.S.

laughter off my eardrum,
beating it as if with hands
as rhythmically, as expertly

my eardrum vibrating,
rippling like waves
like her taut, tummy muscles
enjoying a joke like a coke for two
as much for her as for me

how able she is to push up against me
how able she is to move me deeply
