PoemBy Nikki Giovanni

like a will-o’-the –wisp in the night
on a honeysuckle breeze
a moment sticks
us together

like a dolphin being
tickled on her stomach
my sea of love flip-flops all
over my face
like the wind blowing
across a field of wheat
your smile whispers to my inner ear
with relief of recognition
I bend to your eyes
casually raping
