after Zheng Bo
come—
slide
our tongues
into each other
on thumbs
on lips on fingertips
lingering & [vibrating] & watch
our pages fall open
u n f u r l i n g
into a sacred wisdom [breathe] & sense
& squeeze
& [breathe] our ecstasy
each other
twined
topographies as varied
as the lives
that dot
this basin
[vibrating]
glistening
lush &
green
