DRIP, DRIP

Published by Lavender June 2021

Drip, drip

The raindrops cling to the lip

Of my window ledge

As they fall for hours from the sky

Trying their one last effort

To hold on and make it last

Before disappearing into the stillness

Drip, drip

The raindrops cling to the lip

Of the wipers of my bus

As I roll in attempting to look fly

Trying my one last effort

To meet someone and make a pass

Before returning into the stillness

Drip, drip

The raindrops cling to the lip

Of Rhianna’s Umbrella

As she swears to always keep you dry

Trying her one last effort

To storm the speakers with class

Before unplugging into the stillness

Drip, drip

The raindrops cling to the lip

Of G-Day Bookshop’s sign

As we gather: les, queer, pan, and bi

Trying our one last effort

To hold and build space en masse

Before hiding into the stillness

Drip, drip

The tap water clings to the lip

Of the sink faucet

As I fix my lavender gloss, looking sly

Trying my one last effort

To have the courage to dance with a lass

Before fading into the stillness

Drip, drip

The sweat drops cling to the lip

Of your nose and slip down your chest

As your body vibrates to the rhythm on high

Trying your one last effort

To get lost in the beat, shaking your ass

Before disconnecting into the stillness

Drip, drip

Our sweat drops cling to the lip

Of our intertwined bodies

As I glide my mouth between your thighs

Trying my one last effort

To reach you to your fourth shiver blast

Before detaching into the stillness

Drip, drip

The you-drops cling to my lip

Of my hungry mouth

As we kiss goodbye with a pleasured sigh

Trying our one last effort

To hold on and make it last

Before disappearing into the stillness
