Speaking in Tongues

the sacred tongue
opens its pink
budding
doorway
to whole
communion

complete taste
and touch
with another’s
fleshy soul

such wet
pleasure
and repose

in the virginal
wafer where
we languish
and compose
in ocean’s deep
replenishing
swim

of salt
and sex
sensuous
and serene

let us pray
and float

relish
rejoice
and be
replenished

toast each
precious moment
in this one
golden
bowl.
