Description
stomach like the ordinance survey maphe runs his fingers around
the circles of the hillsides
pages and pages and pages
Francis,
I'm not a map
and her skin cools and tessellates
into the history of Argentina
or the speeches of Winston Churchill
or the life of Marilyn Monroe
and his hands warm
the leather of her arms
Francis, I am not a book
and her thighs are string
reaching from the neck of a double bass
and her lips are cymbals
and her eyes are gospel
Francis,
I'm not music
You are.

Churchill's histories are better than his speeches.
Topographic maps made tactile, that's how I like my abs to be.
