One Poem by Moe Seager

 



Oblivion Magic

 

Unity

Bread to the mouth

Milk to the lips

Tongue to the nipple

Tender loin bathes in the honey of your hive

Tender pleasures our lives

Separate and shared

Under my sun, your moon

Round as butt cakes

Cupped in my hands

Yours upon my cheeks

Descending

The deep wells of your eyes

Fires of orgasm and prayer

Burning us to death

And rebirth

We give one to another

That we may lie and rise again

Horizons broad

As curved shoulders

We clutch with melting fingers

In the final moment

Letting go

Everything precious

This life gives us

Such short time
