laughing lover

I love it when you get that look in your eye

like I am edible

luscious like a delicate creme brulee

and you’re itching

crawling out of your skin

for just one taste

 

just one

 

tracing gently

lips and a nose

down the inner corner of a tawny neck

 

an inhalation swift and deep

sending me reeling

 

Who are you?

and your soft warm skin

drunk and killing me slowly

 taking each piece of me

in that smiling mouth

 

under a full full moon
