"i always thought the way you talked was neat
and i dream that when you speak you speak to me
but you're always out of reach
and i can't control my speech
and i'm scared that when we meet
i'll wanna touch you"
- the catherine wheel, from "i want to touch you"

touch.you

someone needs to touch you where you live
somebody should really touch you
in that special sensitive
private
place
in the middle of your cerebellum
or
inside or all around your
spiritheart

someone should shape you as clay
skyclad under midnight moon
you turn away they turn toward
they kiss you on the neck
and warm you from cold weather by
whispering affirmations of your glory in your eardrum

someone should touch you
and,
both sets of eyes closed

shake clasp hold warm hands
with you
for love
for life
