As close as skin

Your arms around my waist
firm, grounding
while you grind me down
and wait for me to say
what you want to hear.

I've known you for years
but now I also know
the shape of your mouth
and the weight of your hands
and the quiet of your voice
as your lips brush my ear.

My mouth crowds with words
and I clamp my teeth
cage them up
hide them as you try
to find the right key
press the right button
send them running.

If you try to laugh, I won't let you.
I'll turn around on you
swallow it whole
even if it's just
what you wanted all along.

It's only because
you're as close as skin
biting like a thorn
I can't dig out.
