i like my body when it is with your 
body. It is so quite new a thing. 
Muscles better and nerves more. 
i like your body.  i like what it does, 
i like its hows.  i like to feel the spine 
of your body and its bones, and the trembling 
-frim-smooth ness and which i will 
again and again and again 
kiss,   i like kssing this and that of you, 
i like, slowly stroking the, shocking fuzz 
of your electric fur, and what-is-it comes
over parting flesh . . . . And eyes big love-crumbs,

and possibly i like the thrill

of under me you so quite new
