Love Connection

chapped lips, tongue kissed
insert expletive
fluids of a summer night
with slight duress
forced imperatives
find me quoting Donovan
a delicate blend
of sweat and menstrual blood
seeping into trampled grass
so take my tongue between your teeth
and taste me by devouring
and i’ll start watching my weight again
oh woke up at dawn
face down on the lawn
head awash with what had been
rest cheek to cheek
fingers underneath
soft impressions of your teeth
some hours lost
and at such a cost
stains and scars i can’t explain
so take my tongue between your teeth
and taste me by devouring
and i’ll start watching my weight again
oh some things are best left unsaid
