NO PRETENSE

We make no pretense of our hungry
the way our fingers grope for curves
and danger, the way our tongues
seek like missiles the target of our desire
we know too well this longing, these
pangs that push against our rib cage
against our pelvic bones
we are not confused of what
would make us full
