Parker, “Let Me Come to You Naked”

Pat Parker

Read By: Bonnie Gable and Indee Mitchell

Let me come to you naked
come without my masks
and lay beside you
Let me come to you old
come as a dying snail
and lay beside you
Let me come to you angry
come shaking with hate
come callused
and lay beside you
even more
Let me come to you strong
come sure and free
come powerful
and lay with you
