So we went biblical;
I, your goddess adorned
with sweats
(like pearls around my neck)
and you, my Sappho reincarnate
stroke fire like a snake charmer.
Sensual, you hissed,
as you watched my sweat
jumped out of my little pores
that flowed to every region:
from the depths of my collarbone
to the zenith of my breasts
and down to the oasis of my navel.
Here’s the spot, you pointed,
(a pink navel half empty of
saline sweat)
is the way to promise land.
So you poured an aged wine
to your found oasis and
drank for your redemption
and the gates of my temple
opened for your coming.
