Typewriter Series #2654 by Tyler Knott Gregson

Imagine myself a droplet of water,
imagine my excitement
as I fall from the shower head
and see my destination.
Aim for your hair, I would,
the soft landing in the soaking
smoke and curl, but I wouldn’t
linger, there’s more to explore
after all.  

Down your face next, pausing on
eyelids, on the side of your nose,
then resting awhile on your lips.
I search for heartbeats here,
feel the sphere of me tremble
and forget to ask questions
of the surface tension that holds me
together.  

Lips to throat, vibrating from your breath,
then over the hillsides of your breasts,
beyond the last expanse South.

I am destined for drain, we all are,
but give me this lifetime
before it comes.  Let me
get to the softness of your
thighs and then maybe,
just maybe,
let me evaporate.
