No Satisfaction
“I can't get no satisfaction, I can't get no girl reaction
'Cause I try and I try and I try and I try“
(I Can’t Get No) Satisfaction by The Rolling Stones
NO SATISFACTION
Relinquishing clothes, unrestrained except for those
blankets that keep us, until our skins warm, underneath.
Tingling so close, there’s a rapture in magnetic attraction.
Mussing with hair, touching his whiskers, the slowness
of lips draped, the parting of their waves, the tongues
talking without words, unexplained beauty. Breaths, beats
forgotten, mind elsewhere attracted, until the peak of
winterscape, where the wind moans, the wolf howls,
the thunder of stallions’ throes, damp sheets in flames.
Head looks to God
with eyes closed
Smiles on the ground
beneath muscular riptide
Knees no longer ache
Arms prepared to lumberjack
Dreamy eyes
flutter
Brunettes’ hair askew
Blanketed cool flesh
No satisfaction explained away
rock’n roll our way
