Beneath Your Fingertips

Everything is a test, now.
I wonder at how you'll react--
I've offered too much, and then more,
and I don't mind,
and I can't stop--
do you understand what that means
for me?  

I push, in an effort
to unearth
the world beneath your fingertips--
the possibility of you
that you could never have expected,
the things I touch
that you do not,
that you did not know breathed
amidst your harbored smile:
I am your wrecking (and wrecked) resurrection.

But I see more in you than you imagined,
and if you can withstand
my 'reasoning,' this blatantly shaking
nakedness, my half-concealed whisper-hesitations,
and my brazen recklessness--
I'll reveal more than what you asked for,
and bring you, certain, to your knees.
