Spinal Art Poem by Lonnie Hicks

I can show you my mouth
ovals heaving
into yours;
you can show me your chest
ab waves
sea crest up
up and down to trough.

I show you
my heart's breath
your arms envelope
I show you my mounds
and you clutch
me
tighter
I am a drum
pounding.

You feel me
my so long ago
needing
which now
sings

as never before.

I touch your curving spine
anticipating
its art work
mine.

And you trace
my soul
with your
moist
silky moist
kisses.
