adjectives

i took my pen
and covered you in words
like a sprawling canvas of silk
i wrote "insatiable"
on the small of your back
and you giggled and squirmed under the ink
i wrote "endearing" on your eyelid
and you begged to know
what you could feel but could not see
"perfect" rounded out the curve of your clavicle
i kissed each and every perfect little letter
then i wrote "mine" a few times
behind each of your thighs
in neat and tiny cursive
i penned "alarming" between two ribs
you jumped suddenly and and we both laughed
and together we smeared some of it
i wrote it again for good measure
but this time with less pressure
i fashioned "celestial" behind your ear
read it aloud in a terrible accent as i spelled it
you corrected me on the pronunciation
but i didn't mind, i loved the way you said it
i asked if you would say it again to me
and you rolled your tongue so perfectly
we fucked until the words were formatted
i thought of how i could never return to a typewriter
so we showered and started again
i took my pen
and covered you in words
like a sprawling canvas of silk
i wrote "insatiable"
