Why Poetry?

Why poetry
when our bodies espress so well already?

Why put paper between us
when it will end up on the floor beside the bed?

Why rearrange words
when we could tangle sheets?

Why should I rhyme for you
when I could groan in your bitten ear?

Why depend on one mouth or ten fingers to sing our story
when two full bodies bend, press, and plunge in harmony?

Why tell
when we could do?
