In & Out of Season
for N.T-B.

i
write to taste her
right to taste her

green tamarind, green mango
salt upon them, suck them

want to suck until I taste her
until honey dripped

to lick, savor, save her, save it

box of honey bees to release
jars for honey to collect

how sweet her nectar is

ii.
well screwed

she confessed she was
why she was all lit up like a bulb

bulb to screw in, to screw out
to light up or not to light up
the house

bulbs screwed in
as long as Christmas lasts

afterwards screwed out
or the plug pulled out

all lit up last evening
because she was or had been
well screwed

the plug had been plugged in, pulled out
but her lights were all still on

turned on just to look at her
all warm and all lit up

how I wanted to alight upon her
my wings among her petals

I have to be so careful, anonymous, not to break the bulb that you are. I want you to last and to light up always, however screwed in, screwed up or screwed out.

How erotic when you are being screwed in your very own words.

i love u, i told u.
