Home

following curves
with fingertips
collarbone
breasts

tongue tracing
areola
pressing
into nipple

searching fingers
past umbilicus
through a forest
mons veneris

eyes shut
breath erratic
teeth biting
into bottom lip

inaudible whispers
to myself
pressure, tension
pause, release

ears ringing
head swimming
heart racing
fingers wet

I am home
