The Craving

naked
in a tree
she tempts me

thin white stick
between wet lips

and i crumble
as the earth
beneath my stance

thickened air divide
allows my stride
on deep blue waters

where her true colors
swim and breath
and coalesce and separate

i turn away and back
as science fiction
feeds me my addiction

knowing never will i be
in sleep nor in awake
bequeathed her deity

Author notes

Based on a wierd dream I had some 20 years ago... lol

    Thank you for entering my contest. I like this poem, but I am having trouble understanding this stanza. Did you miss a word or am I just dense?

    i turn away and back
    as science fiction
