She smothers me with her words of desire
So I kiss her to stop it
And choke
I choke on her words
Choke on her soft tongue
Like a vicarious seizure
Put a wallet between our bear traps
So that I might catch my breath
Her lips brand my brain
With short circuits
So I stutter responses
And if she were any less beautiful
Or I could somehow be gay
I might actually have enough confidence
To say
Shut up and bring them gnashers my way
It’s okay if you bite
I like it rough
And
Already I can barely breathe
Suffocating under a blanket of words
I can smell the alcohol on her breath
As she speaks
As if her words could be any less flammable
Makes me wish I could drink gasoline without dying
Do you hear that dark room dancer?
You liquor breathed torpedo tongue
You cat eyed lighthouse
Reminding me where I want home to be?
You make me want to drink flammable liquid just to compete
I pull her close
Like the gentle slam of a car door
Are we dancing?
Or swimming?
Or drowning?
Go ahead **** me with your words
I give up
