Viscosity

I'll wake suddenly in the night
Drenched
And also sweating
Your blood seeking my blood
With the iron rolling through my veins 
Pulling me out of bed

Willing you to share in my fever that gets you behind the wheel
And driving straight into me
While I'm running on the heartbeat of an anxious metronome
Wanting to run all over you

Please
Crash into me like a tidal wave
Made with the violence of a monsoon

I beg you to let me bathe my hot fingers into your skin
And you're welcome to do the same

Help me with my own tide to carry it all away
