Unfurl me
Gently -
Like the newborn wings
Of the silken moth;
Worship and cherish
My supple flesh,
With your soft fingertips
And secretive lips.
Unfurl me,
Roughly -
Like a fluttering flag
Upon your pole;
Mishandle and gnaw
My delicate neck,
My pulse racing beneath
Your lupine teeth.
Unfurl me,
Beautifully -
Like a billowing sail
Of a galleon ship;
Pitching and lurching
Of bodies divine,
The cresting waves
Of a love sublime.
