Pondering the particulars of an abstract word
My hand slides down imagined flesh
Eyes sparkle in electric light
Heart pounding to the beat of thumbs on glass
Elements of the mind once settled in mire
Stir to the surface and darken clear waters
Suspended in trance with sins laid bare
Set alight to burn like hellfire flames
And through licking fingers
Her smile
Impossible except by ridiculous fantasy
Burning brightly
Except in runaway dreams
Burning brightly
Her smile
