in view of an intimate stranger

[jslice]

from across the room,
raise your hands
from the soft light outlining shadow shapes
against your face
close your eyes
emerges soft sputters, worship whispered past
rolling forms wrapped in rhythm
lift your voice
how is such confidence formed,
then birthed through your form
as you bathe in the waves?
break my heart
watch how the words, they emerge,
bubble from your throat -
thick moans against the wooden floor
rub me bear-chested and breathing
give us this day our daily bread
seek passion, seek healing
seek future, relinquish yesterday
and renew this desire within me
