no words are needed

14 Sep 2021 - no words are needed

open shirt, sandals.
windows share nights cooling kiss
parked under bright lights.

crickets chirp love songs
as do throbbing bodies, dear.
no words are needed.

your fingers tracing
lightly ‘round saturnal rings
of areolas.

tongue mapping towpath
  up a scrotum’s central ridge
to find the stiff stalk

and now you’ve found me
swollen, shaking, crowned: a drop
of beaded diamond.
