Fragile Connections
Blue veins criss-cross across, sketch life’s pattern
through me – in and out of heart muscle, skim
the smooth surface, detour areola,
outline nipple, as they accentuate
the fullness of my breasts. Follow their path.
With kisses, plot their course from beginning
to end. Find safe passage to my deepest
desires. With the tips of your fingers,
find their source and explore the depths of me
mapped out for your adventure; a journey
over the soft hills and down the valley–
an entrance in to the cradle of life.
Relish this fragile connection between
we two, both travelers, both familiar
with the treasure held within this body.
