sheathe me in
vanilla heat
all musked up
& shower wet
roll me into
a fat blunt
draw in the
dank taste
c o m e
undone
take me back
ten turns around
the sun when
you were my life
i’ll kindly ask
a stranger to
ignite the spark
in my teeth
because i’m a
bergamot bitch
torching this
nylon dream
you try to
rip my pith
from your
brain pits
but when you
pull back his
husk to take
in the oud . . .
the sillage of our
love is conjured
& suddenly we
are back in the
b e d r o o m
