WELCOME TO
Iris Esquivel
On You
A filmy feeling of beer and freedom nets my body like a silk casing
I see you vaguely
You whose company is like cool fruit punch in June,
wet lips by the pool.
Touch me like a reflection
without remorse
and detached from external expectations.
I see us vaguely
Thin ankles and strong bones that merge bodies
as unique as our minds.
So that we might make ourselves
palpable
to those who feign interest in such fleshy realities.
Let us kiss each other's bodies and act as children do,
chasing clouds, playing doctor and
breathing light.
Let me kiss the tiny parts of you
that have no name,
And may every living thing make us
smile.
