scald me
pinking
embarrassed
heating
beneath
my skin
Tag: heat
dusk marked
sun needles
a shimmer in
my step
My insides
hotwired for pressure.
He, kettle set to steam.
Steeping we.
live-fire pressed into me
my ribs catch the sun
opening my spine
to it
heat moving
Split tinder
cured oakwood
His grin, wild
I spark into
flames
charge stuck in my skin
slick like a whip
Forgetting my name
cool morning
heated kisses
beneath a sky torn
open by flames
His eye sparked life inside
cave
water
the curve of my lip
Tracks stop
I look back
cold flames
lashes burning the air between us
