A Parting Of Thighs

By Salty Ships

My bed has seen stories 
and men 
oh the men
who have buried their flesh within my walls
who have kissed the scars on my skin 
and prayed between my knees 
but none have opened my lungs with the inhalation of love
none have stained my bones with their being 

only you 
always.
