Fluid Tab

Your hair
               
Curls just like hair
        
And your skin
               
Feels just like skin
                                   
But your eyes are bluer than the oceans of the world
             
And I want to swim them again


    
Your nose 
             
Smells like a nose
        
And your ears 
               
Sound just like ears
                                                
But your lips taste sweeter than the sugar in my spoon
             
And I want to lick them again


    
Your tongue 
             
Tastes like a tongue
        
And your lungs 
                 
Breathe just like lungs
                                        
But your voice gives me goose bumps when you call my name
             
And I want to goose bump again


    
Your toes 
             
Tap just like toes
        
And your knees 
               
Knock just like knees
                                           
But when you dance you’re more fluid than a bedsheet in the breeze
                                   
And I want to sleep in your folds
                                            
When you dance, you’re more fluid than a bedsheet in the breeze
             
And I want to sleep in your folds


    
Your nails 
                 
Scratch just like nails
        
And your teeth 
              
Bite just like teeth
                                    
But when your legs wrap around me, I no longer know
           
And I never want to go home
