I hung bats
from my earlobes
close to my throat
twice I was bitten
startled as if I hadn’t
offered them a sip
I hung bats
from my earlobes
close to my throat
twice I was bitten
startled as if I hadn’t
offered them a sip
smiling lightning
down my body
I won’t sleep
miss your love
stretched taffy
candy pink
sweet but strong
sticky kiss
attention stunned
lovingly corrupted
cedar against
my fresh skin
I’m greedy for trees,
river water,
the wind’s kiss
on places of my body
only nature’s been
hairs magnetic
lips slick
skin memorizing
blackberry kiss
flower hidden
crinkle tingles
prickle skin
shadow peak
sparking flint
romantic kiss
Feathers
and
Arrowheads
both bladed
he said
catching in my chest
spilling me open
this dance burns
beneath me
flaming floorboards
navy silk catching firelight
pool me
i thirst deeply
kneeling at the river’s edge
water lapping my legs
sand imprints beneath me
he pulls me under
tree shadow dance
river dark paling the sun
kissing until
i see stars
