vaccine grind

welcome to the homosexual divine:
my morning cock on your morning cock
one slow throbbing grind.
the vaccine making its way through our bodies 
is one long ache.
that’s how you know it’s working
when it makes a baby of you.
first spooning and then grinding and then 
oh, the cat just screams
and screams.
who’s gonna spoon feed us?
and the clock goes on.
me too
running a hand over your back or kissing 
the corner of your mouth 
makes me want to open 
the day for you, 
or feed you my fingers,
or just eat you, here.
stupid on vaccine 
I’m breathing your breath in, 
not from your mouth 
straight from the nose
to nose
and it smells so good
I can’t help it 
it makes me stupid
and say all sorts of things
it smells like warm milk, hot skin, 
like a pillow after someone sleeps on it, sure, 
or like sap and split wood
but really if we’re trying not to use metaphor 
it’s enough to say:


                                    breathing your breath in is like breathing in a lover’s breath after fucking, after your whole hand
                                    was inside of me, where you found first my heartbeat and then god in my cunt, while every
                                    feeling passed over my face, after naming everything you saw pass, after fucking with one arm
                                    sore from the shot 

                                    that will save us
                                    from dying, we can’t forget it.
                                    or at least losing the scent of everything important (sex, garlic when it first starts to sizzle, fresh
                                    bread, armpits, leather, coffee, hay). 


when we sleep I dream about being inside you. we’re on a roof. it’s an unfamiliar place but when you lay back it’s just sky and more sky.
