i like my body when it is with your


body. It is so quite new a thing.


Muscles better and nerves more.


i like your body.  i like what it does,


i like its hows.  i like to feel the spine


of your body and its bones, and the trembling


-firm-smooth ness and which i will


again and again and again


kiss, i like kissing this and that of you,


i like, slowly stroking the, shocking fuzz


of your electric furr, and what-is-it comes


over parting flesh… And eyes big love-crumbs,



and possibly i like the thrill



of under me you so quite new
