sexualities

ventomhin

on my arched back

lie the consequences and trajectories

of branding myself a slut

before anyone else leaks my body.

i fuck freely and  (don’t) trigger
(can’t)
(won’t)

the islands i crash.

i fuck by consensual invitation

parting pussies with red polished fingernails
& greeting dicks inside a thankful mouth
& all parties musically moaning until we make monsoons.

in the present tense

we execute the fucks of the century

molding them into memories for future masturbatory assistance.

my back carries no hesitation
bears no cross
shimmies with the joy of cumming

& never complains about conjoined lips offering explicit amens

in pornographic solitude.
