Inside

Let me tango with your baby toe,
camp inside the caverns of your nose.
Let me lie in the small of your spine,
drink all the wine inside your eyes.
I'll ski down the slope of your cheek,
hike up the hills that are your knees.
May I sink in the sweetness of your lips
and smooth out the curviness in your hips?
I'll wrap myself in your excess skin,
walk my fingers down your pointy chin.
Let me strum the veins inside your hands
and search your heart for unseen lands.
May I weave myself within your hair,
strip your freckled shoulders til they're bare?
Can I hide and sneak between your teeth?
Oh, I'll swing from the arches of your feet.
I can tease your mouth into a smile
and sit on your crown for a little while.
Let me caress the lobes of your tiny ears
and sift the salt from your sliding tears.
Oh, I love the little parts of you,
to discover that true beauty's true.
From the sunrise til dark eventide,
look in your soul--I'm there inside.
