Lynne Sargent
I grind your cum
into the corner of the mattress
before sealing my whole
sodden thing with my underwear.
Grind because my body remembers
yours beneath it. It is still primed
for pleasure.
Cum because it is the orgasmic
that is of importance. Not reproduction,
not shame.
Into the mattress because I do not wish to clean
you away, remake my pussy,
or purge it,
because you are supposed to be dripping
like a secret, but instead I will absorb you
into my skin, sleep in you
surrounded by you,
enmeshed
you will stay a part
of me.
