The Holy Place Oct. 18, 2013

 

 I know so much

 more about her now,

yet know so little,

having once caressed

 the shell she occupies,

my fingers feeling

the rough surface,

 my mind, plunging

into those recesses

 where the soft parts lie.

I know every bump and ridge,

 where the scars are,

those tender places

where she derives pleasure,

 though it is not

my fingers or tongue,

 lips or hips

that brings her this,

still envy those fingers

that tongue that does,

 the touch she longs for

 from the hand she

so desires to regain,

a tongue that has

penetrated her,

 licked away those defenses,

pressed past the rough

surface to invade

her most tender places,

 a universe of its own,

a place so sacred

 only the highest

of priests might go there,

 a holy place behind

the holy face.
