Gush

By Kiah

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

I’m trying not to do that thing,where I freak out and sing.Where I tell you all I can’t hear.Instead, I’ll just engage in gushing.This rushing forth of words mushing.Fumbling over the ecstatic convulsion.And I’m trying not to do that thing.Where I freak out and bringall the doors down within my soul.Instead, I’ll just engage in splashing.Clean wet waves crashing.Flooding out the times passing.Swimming in the juices.Of this insecure uncertaintyPushing the gushing.Back inside of me.First date-itis.
