Skin
By Emma Hage
Spill me across the couch
and fill in the spaces.
We know how to dance.

I want you to taste my stories
and my favorite colors--
and maybe what I have for breakfast.

Give up your modesty.
Strip yourself 
of any hesitations.

There will be no words;
let our skin do all the talking
