An intake of cold breath and the distance between our hips is reduced. Shapes that move beneath your dress. The steam from my mouth; how it covers every inch of what I desire most. More than a woman yet these hands know only lust. Sometimes, pleasure gets the better of personality, and it shames me always. Battered Pontiac rolled over on its hood. Lube to ease my passage. Not a demon, only a victim of boredom and the sweetness of wine. Words to get within your dress, and words to keep the moment alive long after it’s dead. In the doorway of some abandoned store, you shiver as the stars shine like ice. Taxi journies to empty swimming pools; bedsheets sprayed with your favourite perfume. Pyramids under blankets of sand. Place your index finger between my teeth. Lay belly down on the mattress and let me dominate. Pumping blood through tickled arteries, you feel my children shooting in until speech is not an option. Curls of hair and toes pointing to the ceiling. Curse me as I curse your sex. Haunt me until these feelings make sense. In and out. Sickness and health. It feels like it was only yesterday that my hands were able to take what they wanted. It feels as if it were only last week when you were beautiful. Then you became just another girl in some other drowned town. I tried so hard to feed you my madness but you spat the words back in my face. I tried so hard to take you down but you only had eyes on the crowd. In the valley between the bed and the clock, the scent of regret is overwhelming. You try to keep it hidden from the next guy to walk through the door, but I’ve seen what you look like, and there’s no accounting for taste. Walk the path that no one knows. Pinch your nipples as I piss your name in the snow. Take off your socks- the ones that go up to your knees. Spit in your hand and open the curtains. Just because I hate you doesn’t mean I don’t want to make you mine. A plane crash. A used syringe. Wash your mouth out, then set yourself on fire. Shake me out of strange dreams. Squeeze them together, and let me run my hands over those legs that belong only to me. Let me sink my teeth in. Let me have it all.
