Pulse
It’s not about the climax, when we are locked together away from each other, the private ascension, the solitary fall. Not always. Rather, it is the moment of calm when I can see every trailing bead of moisture on his forehead, his eyes tight-closed against my cheek, and I am cradling his heaves in my arms rocking, rocking, knowing every musky variation of his scent as it drips off his shoulder and falls, blooming, into my hair. If he knew that there was no second orgasm waiting for me right then, guilt might hesitate him; I want to tell him somehow that there is another precious thing, less shout, more hum, the primeval comfort of symmetry, him inside of me and me inside of his arms and this oceanic rocking together, as if we are stirring each other in warm, sweet circles, circling, and I all I can think over and over is that he is in me, I am his, he is mine, he knows the heat of my metabolism, my every soft folded place, and the throb of my pulse from inside as I do.
