i am gasoline

Published on Poems and Poetry 

reassemble
my

thought

with visions and goals
dreams and ideals

a sustainable life

something more
than this
current
societal
existence

rejuvenate
my
body
arms
splayed

outstretched

before you

your feast

my mouth

your escape

my holy altar

your salvation

regenerate
my

blood

so that it
brings me

sweet breath

open your mouth wide,
dear

allow it to flow
into your own

be a shining white beacon 
of hope

be all of this and more
for me, you, us

this most divine union
of souls
is meant
to change

everything 

let us rejoice
and bring them all

back home

to the land

the silt

the rich green grass

emerald
the climbing vines
and meadows

the cool deep streams
and the air we breathe

oh, so pure

the ether

let us bring it all
together

again

let us set fire to the sky

awaken oceans
raging, angry

let us call thunder

alerting the Earth

to shiver and quake

like my thighs

alabaster

like your deep rich eyes

boring down upon me now
like the volcanic rumbling
of every tired human voice

let us torch ourselves

this world must be reborn

i am gasoline

and you are my match

let us awaken the angels

so their choirs are heard

in all worlds

divine

like when we first met
a hazy rendition
of tidal waves
and dolphins dancing

ecstatic
