Poetry & Art of the Intelligently Erotic
Issue 3.5
Kileen Gilroy - Peaking
He opens
my hands
like windows
where the dreams
I have been waiting for slip
through cracks,
slide inside
the curve of the crescent
moon to begin again.

He finds
places to fall
between as I sink
into his eyes.

Irises inside
burst from my ribs
as his fingers press
into the gardens
of who I might be.

I exhale light,
fill the walls with color,
spread my hands
wide like wings
leaving behind
a puddle of stars.
