The Infinite Ache

"Body of my woman, I will persist in your grace.
My thirst, my unbounded desire, my uncertain road!
Dark river-beds where the eternal thirst flows
and weariness follows, and the infinite ache."

- Pablo Neruda

I wake to the wet of your
tongue licking me long.  When
I am ready, you climb me,
your shoulders hunched above
your strained and standing arms,
your nipples hovering
like bulging alien eyes.

Later, as the cool air
glides our glistening bellies,
you ask: How many times
has it been? A thousand? More?

I tell you I don’t know, either,
and you nod motionlessly,
nesting your cheek against my chest.

Soon, your breathing slows
and deepens.  You slip from me,
sliding down to the sweating sheet.
And, just before I blanket us,
I see you as you were a thousand
times ago—your legs are shy,
yet they open wide for me.

- David Meuel
