in my circle

I taste the bass of drums and heat
flames mouth encouragement to my feet
enveloped in friendship and a chaos beat
words and rhythm, hot and sweet

the smell of your heart beating
startles my sensibility
blue and red I sing your arms to feed me
carry my voice with you
that I might remember its taste
when your eyes shuffle to greet me
still honest in the morning

we hear with every limb. we breathe with every orifice. we feel fire with every eye. we see with every intelligence that awakes if we let it in our stomach, heart, and mind.

this is beautiful.
