Sin/Shame


Suddenly
you are like warmth beneath my collarbone
spreading thick
molasses heavy
and
I am like wind upon your neck

resting gently
nestled on your back

Quickly
take me with you to bed
where warm collarbone
and
wind swept back
can lie together
exchange muscle
and
affection
switch bodies 
heat beneath your chest
breeze against my back
skin close
dreams crash
like bumper cars on merry go rounds
collide 
like buffalo and unicorns on dance floors
disco ball twirling
shining bright
like crazy

Hurry
take me with you
til dawn raises an eyebrow
sun burns your wind away
overshadows my warmth
we’ll scramble to forget
untwist fantasies 
deny lips 
leave cheekbones blank
fingertips unfamiliar
and 
go on and on and on

and on 
as strangers 
heads bent 
empty 
eyes closed 
swiftly
