The Vein Trace - Of Eros Deconstructionists At Work In Bed

1 Systole

to return to

the simplicity

of the body

that IS the body

filigree surface

of hairs

of skin

the mottled where

the vein trace there

precludes entrance of

major sort though

absorptions

always claim

final victory

we are

dear

naked

before me

absorbed ourselves

absolution resolute

in threads fraying

these (whose are?)

these fingers splayed

as in these (whose?)

scratches

you leave

my back

teeth marks

the bruises

we are each

weeding cell

by cell

of swollen need

frighten

but

do not stop us

the unappeasable

silver scar-and-tell

show the

swelling

space that

(spills)

is around

bodies

that they can

be all things

from

nails to

teeth

a wreath

ammonia bone

lace

delight

the rounded

space

the trace

our constrained

embrace prays to be

O pray the bed

may hold the

weighted curve

the emboldened

release strained out

from the

out-rubbed O

O all

that excretions

exude

presuming breath

2 Diastole

exhume the

bellows such are

the breasts shells

beneath each our

own which come to

us ancestrally

as spectral

steam near

panes upon

which

promiscuous

sheer

admit all

entrance what

passes through

you dear

naked

before me

and an equally

naked

me

unframed upon

once-time of

exodic

morphic wander

geography's the

more simpler made by tongue

buds

taste the

finger

all things that

grasp sublingually

the sucking smile

lips bent forward

into each the

tongue the pearl

turned round

and round

the dark

chamber of

the mouth

the lung petal

florets there

their little

mouths too

gulp/gape

also wet

seeking too

the pearl

heart drum

skin stretch

(systole) you

hum me I hum

you (diastole)

the near panes

O

open

here

we pour in

air

the street

below from

where were

we once mutual

liquidity

now

turned out

out wrung

surpassing

bodies

denatured of

but not at all to belabor the obvious

but not at all to argue the

point finally taken over at

last tremblingly overtaken
