Finger across that new love
force her breath in deep
Watch the dilation of
her ink across her eyes seep

Arm folding over and again
the smell of hot rain
Pulling within the fixation
an ache without the pain

Your leg, her waist
Her face, your pace.
She arches, you squeeze
Your palms, her knees.

An anger that bursts a flower
Raging sea of sheets and nails
All the hairs that salute the power
Unfurling to her exhale.
