The BlueIris Semi-Nightly Poetry Break, 1/13/08 Bonus

[BlueIris]

"In the living room"
  
My hand blossoms behind your back as I kiss you
We are watching "Inside Deep Throat"
I think the man in the movie is waving at me
My mother calls to remind me I am allergic to bees
I think of her pressing down on her husband's arm
until a bruise forms there
I wonder if we will be like that
Once a woman said you were a man who could tame
a hummingbird, that I should invite you into my mouth
like a tooth.
I want to move into your hips, to house myself
in your left ear. I will lie there, a tick or a song,
waiting for some sign the universe is sending you
toward me like a star.
