Why are you shaking?
You asked me why I am shaking.
Because I am unable to sit still with you.
I want to be closer.
So close the only air I breathe
is the air you exhale.
I want the only space I take up
to be the space already occupied by you.
You asked me why I am shaking.
Because my insides have been awakened by you
and my thighs have become too heavy
to lift without the help of your hands.
Your hands.
I shake under the touch of them.
And every ripple underneath them
creates a tsunami inside me.
