anXious eXhilarated seXed

tarot poker but no readings
until you're goddamn good and ready
you ask me if I understand
I do but I pretend not to
remembering the fall of '95
when I was as alive as I am now
in love with a different kind of Lion
a psychotic green eyed Lion with one good arm
and enough charm to make a badderest woman outta me
we fucked in no time at all
and there were candles
and "Nevermind"
and a deck of tarot cards
splayed out in colorful wOw
yoWza we saw babies and money
enough honey to put Pooh in hibernation for awhile
yes
I remember and have learned well
the hell of too much too soon
asking the Goddess for the moon
taking a balloon and painting it to glow
just so
knowing it wouldn't float nearly
high enough

you give me good stuff
never had this much eye contact before
this much dumb
mute with bliss
each kiss a sacrament
a pebble tossed in the pond of magical
neverending concentric circles

there is a circus for us
all the colors of the axis
bold and glimmering and deep and proud
a shroud of velvet
to make the Goddess pay attention
when we beseech
when we reach
when we accept now
as the only vow
and how can I calm down
and how can I wait
with all this good on my plate
my stomach is screaming
demanding seconds
before I've eaten firsts
but I will thirst with you
and hunger with you
walk the waking world with you
in patient steps
delayed gratification
is always
best.
