An Erotic Practice of Respecting the Body

Look—
This body all tongue,
all tentacle undulation,
all liquid
and resistance.

Listen—
This body all roots,
all fascial mycelium,
all space
and fullness.

Feel—
This body all pain,
all rhythmic blackhole,
all smoke
and mirrors.

Sense—
This body all time,
all spiral bloom,
all void
and change.

Know—
This body all ancestor,
all amphibious death,
all orgasm
and identity.

Look again.
Look with your spine.
Listen in the echo chamber of your gut.
Feel distraction,
Sense the overwhelm,
hot, pressured blood.
Know release is guaranteed.

Look again.

An Erotic Education

The interplay 
and enmeshment 
of fear and arousal – 
a prerequisite
 
The magic 
of transmuting peaks of arousal 
into plateaus 
of contentment/bliss, 
into that which reverberates, 
echoes, 
melts 
into the intimacy of space
(spirit)
by flowing 
between every crevice 
of the landscape
(body)
 
The magic
of a contained reciprocity,
a deep holding 
by the shadow 
in the valley
 
This 
is learning by dying, 
what you have come for
 
This 
is an initiation
