I don't know what I want from you. I don't want you like I wanted Snow in Arizona, but I don't want you to leave me alone. The silent hum of the sleek car, hands at ten and two, feet in the clouds, head in another dimension. I breathe in the fumes of grease and coconut, so maybe I'm sick. A tropical disease. Blood pours from a facet and I'm reminded of Christmas and summer sandwich shops. I am an Indian in your Chrysler, dance around my fire. Careful, though, you might get burned. The flames lick flesh and taste the weakness. That is how they thrive. On vulnerable, open flesh.
