tripping over the holy ghost in the dark

so now everything's different
yet the same
it's strange
afterward
you run your fingers
through the hair on my chest
my shark's tooth necklace
biting
into your breast
our clothes
scattered
on the floor
alice in chains
writhing in their exquisite
agony
in the next room
chasing some dragon
forevermore

you've raised the blowjob
to an art
form
and i missed the art
appreciation classes
and then
lying across the bed
you look back over your
shoulder
and say
"i like it most this way"
and i think
what alternate
universe
did i just wake up in
there is no sin
just opportunity
and no universe but this
and two lost in it
like in a sea
washed by a tsunami
in a japanese painting

i can still taste the alcohol
on your tongue
but you won't be hurt again
we won't be hurt again
no one
will ever be hurt again
but everybody hurts
anyway
michael stipe nailed that fucker
but good
yet even after
all this
neither of us will say the word
and we dance around it
tirelessly
like a cobra and the
wicker basket

(our protection
our charm
our holy rosary)

now i see
that everything really
is different
we hold each for an hour
too much is not enough
everything is sufficient
