Skinny Dipping
by Jenna Mather
might not be public indecency / if I wear your body / against the old piling
under the dock / pulling you into me like tide / only if we get caught / will I
stop kissing you / to explain for the police officer / how I am designed like
water / to flow into your emptiness / so why should I ever contain myself?
