GIVE ME A TOUCH OF YOUR FINGERS ON MY SKIN (OR THE SUNBATHERS)

For who knew

you sunbathed 

with the sky 

all over our bodies'  full

disclosure

just like I had

always wanted.

You are natural

and bold.

Of course,

we are both men.

Our sensual doubling 

comes easy.

There's also

the undressing 

of Summer.

He guides our bodies 

towards 

a subtle 

stroking of 

our fully-formed edges.

Give me an unforced 

touch of your 

fingers on 

my skin.

I want to believe 

there's another one

here

whose very 

being

has broken like

fine grass

beyond

the 

tyranny 

of gender. 

A day will soon come

when your soft voice 

and lift of the brow

will greet the day

as more than common 

gestures. 

You

will

become

an intimate

whose body

doubles with me

in this delightful society of

sunbathers.
