Sequent
by Jane Lewty

Bear down, impel. Twist
baby, I’ll
       suck you so aloof, pull push you always
stare like that

you abstract, I,
                      half sunk, wrist
bent in over-and-underply
               twist sheave
flexure dip
reverse curl
I’ll make you come or come here at least,
deeper, you’re hard but can’t feel it. I assure you
you are. Pelvic massage is also Levatus ani. Lift, hush now
pull push back. Just there is the ischiococcygeus
and the plexus (nexus, sexus to mind on your bookshelf there) is only nerves of course
Of course it is.

                                              There’s a feeling, footsteps, and not on our skin, they’re
along the street of small wood, small rain, piannissime.

We’re its angle of lag and lead
the lack of and knead.
One of these nights we’re watched
we’ll be dragged out, I tell you.
