PRAYING

Before you breathe in

my hair like you're taming a monster

made of bull thistle & primrose


before you finger open the petals 

of my eager bloom a hummingbird

lapping nectar levitating & hungry 


staving off a thirst that growls plump

& deep in the belly of want

I serve whispers to your neck


blush kissed thorns spreading

down your chest & thighs reverent 

discoveries awaiting ravenous hands


that moment before the very first time

butterflies breaking under the threat

of anticipation diving eagerly


into freshly watered gardens

kneeling before God


& I pray

into your cunt
