I watch your skin stretch and retract,
Like a rubber band,
The tan color of your shell.
I can see the outline of your ribs,
As your arms reach up toward the headboard of the bed.
Your toes point,
Like a ballerina.
And after twisting your body to each side,
You drape your soft skinned arm over my pale waist,
Pulling me in.

Lingering
in what was.
It's


Unatractive

and
Shys me away.

Mall rat lingering
No cash-beginning to end
Haggard and forlorn.

Lately
I've been limping

Allowing love
To conduct my step.

****** with headphones in
Longboarding never felt so
good this late at night.

of realism.

Nicotine surfs my limbs
as thoughts align with tectonic disasters.

Malice masks insinuating balance,
An inevitable roar of discontent prefaces
A cruising tune of initiated indifference
yet hope
