Deep in the Lungs

I breathe in the cold day

and my lungs are chilled.

When I speak

the words dissipate

into nothingness so fast;

leaving no odor,

no form or meaning,

but smoke stays around.

There is passionate tenacity.

Just a kiss,

a little suction

and she feels me

with warmth and weight,

next to my heart and above my stomach;

right where love is.

It lingers with me

on my tongue,

in my throat.

I have to wash my hair twice to get her out.
