I reached out and placed
the unmistakable tips of my
fingers on top of hers in
a manner that the fine grooves
contoured with each other, gently
locking us with
mental magnets, and her lips
started to glow in the twilight
like a blood moon over
the ocean, so dangerously tempting
that I wanted to blow on
every last freckle she had, but by
then our fingers were interlocked,
and resembled venus
fly traps, making me a suicidal
insect hurling full speed blindly
into her glowing euthinasia
Then it all slowed down -
the last inch before the collision
was a man three days into the desert
except that I could feel
the warmth and
moisture
eminating from in front of me, as
our venus fly traps clenched
the skin between them, the skin
they now shared and the thought of
the delicate skin on her shoulders
and around her collarbone unsheathed
would've been the death of me.
No longer aware of
the satin fibers streaming
from her head and enclosing my
face in the breeze,
I tried to stop time with
all my might and be frozen in
this heat for good.
