Napo day 8

One week! Fuck! Yeah!
Thank you to Chloe for the phrase "touch base" and to Lori Moore for the idea of soil under skin

Touch Base
"Come by next week and we'll touch base"
"Come by next week and I'll touch every part of the soft skin at the base of your neck"
"Come by next week and I'll touch my fingers to the pale bone of your ankle"
"Come by next week and we'll get to second base."
"Come by next week and I'll pry open your ribs to touch to the rich loam living inside your chest"
"Come by next week and I'll plant chrysanthemum seeds along your spine and
Water them every day sing to them in the evenings
Until chrysanthemums spring from your throbbing body and
Twine around each other in unbridled ecstacy
Reaching in desperation for the sun that shines back
In brilliantly hot nuclear explosions of joy."
"Come by next week and we'll round the bases, run off the field,
Sprint through the bleachers, and jump off the top of the stadium."
