a mouthful

by @perlucidum

kiss me with a mouthful of mango sorbet; you taste like home and feel like winter. my craven desires, and innocence in the arch of your neck: caveats concealed in kisses; you have misgivings and we have lain here for years upon years desiring little more than to be swallowed up by our sins and shadows. I'll be honest, if your moral halflife is longer than the school year, then what's the point? your beta decay is pathetic, you're impotent, the radiation is too weak to be of any harm; set my geiger counter abuzz, like my phone begging for attention like you should beg for mine, and I Love It, you know I do, quand tu manges Le Gateaux, such an eager little slut, seeking absolution like I have anything other than Absolut to offer you. you drink with the desperation of a desert-dehydrated man, with the fervor of a woman throwing herself, time and again, at the Glass Ceiling, further success visible and attainable: you always spoke to me like you had a mouthful of broken Faberge eggs, and to close your mouth would be to Invite Pain. you were always averse to pain, though you relished in inflicting it, and I loved little more than to be bruised and beaten and bloodied by your ardent affections.
