F***  ME WITH YOUR WORDS

By Haleigh Hook

 

Pardon my French but

I’d like you to speak French to me

or Portuguese  

Spanish, Romanian, Italian

Forget body language, 

I want real language

I want to feel your breath brush my hair behind my ear 

Wet your lips and then whisper sweet-everythings

Everything and nothing all at once. 

 

I want to feel fireworks in your consonants 

your vowels so ennunciated that I can feel them hit my bones 

leaving my legs shaking.

Shake the words loose from your chest 

Let me tear the seams of lips stitched shut 

I’m so sick of the 

silence

so

please

indulge me
