i come to you with a cross
on my chest, lying there
between breasts that heave over breath
and take kisses whole.
i come to you in this dark,
this black with a moon face
all silver and i kiss you under
a smile and i think
this is home, this is where
i belong
but see this cross can bleed
if the time is right
jesus takes his time
being crucified for tiny sins
smaller than this kiss
back
