(dreaming, et cetera, of Your smile eyes knees and of your Etcetera)

i like my body when it is with your
body.  It is so quite new a thing.
Muscles better and nerves more.
i like your body.  i like what it does,
i like its hows.  i like to feel the spine
of your body and its bones, and the trembling
-firm-smooth ness and which i will
again and again and again
kiss,  i like kissing this and that of you,
i like, slowly stroking the, shocking fuzz
of your electric fur, and what-is-it comes
over parting flesh… And eyes big love-crumbs,

and possibly i like the thrill

of under me you so quite new




this is my favorite poem. it sounds like sex and newness and velvet to me even if it doesn't actually make any sense. the fact that i know exactly what he's saying even though his words aren't logical is what makes it genius. oh ee cummings, how do you do it? i wish i could write like this. gosh. so fucking brilliant.like beyond brilliant. 




if you weren't so gay i would write love poems to you. but instead im just going to laugh at how inappropriate your last name is.
