What Do Women Really Want in Bed?
A response to a question posted on the Jeanette Winterson message board

Soft shoulders,
warm hands,
her face buried in my breasts,
and in between our bodies nothing
but the air and the sighs and the nothing

my face in her, on her, the bite
of an earlobe, the bite
of a neck, the celebration
of her mirrored touch.

I want her over me,
under me, I want her to take me,
I want to take her,
I want
I am strung tight like wire
and want more and more
