I’ve been practicing the embodiment of sensuality
letting my lips pronounce the word languidly
my tongue saturating in the slow
slithering sound of the letters and vowels
my hips undulating their way from s- to- y
I’ve been making love to the divine within
caressing the holiness of her scars and
spreading tenderness over her soulskin
like healing balm
I’ve been letting the wild woman out
rediscovering parts of me I was
taught to hide behind shame
before my body even knew
what that meant-
no more.
