The Floating Poem... Adrienne Rich





Eva Green and Reeve Carney in Penny Dreadful

Whatever happens with us, your body

will haunt mine—tender, delicate

your lovemaking, like the half-curled frond

of the fiddlehead fern in forests

just washed by sun. Your traveled, generous thighs

between which my whole face has come and come—

the innocence and wisdom of the place my tongue has found there—

the live, insatiate dance of your nipples in my mouth—

your touch on me, firm, protective, searching

me out, your strong tongue and slender fingers

reaching where I had been waiting years for you

in my rose-wet cave—whatever happens, this is.

 Adrienne Rich, The Dream of a Common Language: Poems 1974-1977 by W. W. Norton & Company,
