I want to go down- Spoken word poem

This poem featured on Radio National’s Bedtime Stories and can be listen to here

I want to go down

filled with anticipation at seeing you spread before me

just begging me to take you

and right now

Slide myself over you

learn your curves

down to those places

where

I lose myself in the moment

and just let go

You make me forget myself

and remember at the same time

when we do this together

we are always on display

for I am marked out as different

and tonight we will give them a show

I want to ride you

fast

in this dusk light

where everyone can see

as they drive by in their cars

home from work

I want to scream

to squeal like a 16 year old

with the rush and thrill

of the 1^st time I realised I could do this

and it felt so right 

You make me breathless and reckless

and I don’t care that they are watching

the head-lights catching my wheels

as I roll over you

like an expert

They say big is beautiful

and they are so right

you

big

beautiful…

Hill

But 1^st you make me work for you

you’ve made me climb you

you’ve made me

come here

again

and sweat

Made my arm muscles

sore

till I am all ache

for you

in this sunset light

I want to press my ties into your tarmac

to know the cracks in your concrete

ride your bumps

which make my body vibrate

just right

know your bends

you make my hands so fucking dirty from touching my tires to your

streets

I wanna make people look

and step aside

hurriedly with a gasp

as I go down

you

you

Dirty

Big

Hill

like a pro

right to your

bottom

and everyone watching wishes they had the body and equipment to enjoy you like I do
