Black Market Bodies

In my head I see your rosy cheeks
And taste your fat lips, gritty and sweet like unrefined sugar
While your warm hands rest on my heavy hips
And your heart holds up my brain
Exchanging fantasy for a reality that bounces
Between your ribcage and my skull

Dust


Let's just stay here forever, loving each other with unrestrained
passion and blind devotion until we burn away our flesh
beyond recognition and all we have are our bare,
ugly bones with no eyes to see or ears to hear, 
just dull white skeletons that cling to one
 another so tight that we
collapse into a pile of 
homogeneous 
dust.

Virginia Summer

Humid, sticky air presses down on me
While the sun is high in the sky
Sweat soaks through my shirt
Mosquitoes gnaw on my exposed skin
There's no escape from this oppressive heat

Wind rips at the trees greedily
As rain pours from an unforgiving sky
Lightning illuminates the world for a moment
In a bizarre bluish haze
Thunder rumbles in the distance, an ominous warning

A gentle breeze teases me
The moon shines down kindly
As I lie in the wet grass
Humidity keeps me from feeling the chill
Of this cool Virginia night
