Exposure

Her long brown hair hung

occluding forty-seven percent of her face

and her one eye

looked a little manic.

 

It was slow and sweet

for a while

but she had been

gradually gaining momentum.

 

I am watching her

carefully and

waiting, really

for that moment.

Suddenly she stops.

 

She raises her hands up

clenched.

It looks like she is going to

pull her own hair

and then her right fist

slams into my ribs

followed by a left

and a right and a left.

A barrage of little hurts

pouring out

machine gun frenzied.

She digs her nails into my chest,

her mouth is twisted,

her teeth clenched,

I can see muscles

in one jaw line twitch.

More hair falls over her

Countenance.

Her hips move furious  

 

and then

Sensuous wails of red light,

screams of sumptuous green,

bright yellow trembling,

and electric blue rippling

like bright neon

 

She cools and dims

she collapses

into me

sobbing

and I can feel

salty wet

itchy dripping down my skin

 

I cry too

never having seen someone

this...
