Take Your Shirt Off

take your shirt off don’t take your shirt off take your shirt off don’t take your shirt off don’t take your shirt off no.
its been a while since we did this.
perhaps before there was a difference tractor roaring to the chorus of the creek. she hit the panic button.
for all these years we watched these bodies.
memories of those ungendered dreams.
fabric layers the extension of our skin. that we’re in.
take your shirt off don’t take your shirt off take your shirt off don’t take your shirt off don’t take your shirt off no.
i give i give i give i give make.
please take please take please take please take
one way streets still get you there its not a game.
its a place without a name.
a surgeon creates separation. our hearts sewn together in a chain its true
we’re birds of a feather as you say . we dance either way.
take your shirt off don’t take your shirt off take your shirt off don’t take your shirt off don’t take your shirt off no.
these in between moments call for in between souls.
for our in between t shirts and our in between holes.
