The actor in my desires,
You take your cue.
Pretend anonymity in a loveplay
Careless & unpredictable as a wreck.
Cup my nipple to your lips & draw fire.
The flame leaves no ash, fuses me to you.
Baptizes & burns us clean.
Shadows cool the smokeless air, yet
Hot rivulets erode our bodyscape.
Pure, acid-clean & rained with sweat,
We pulse with urge.
Shimmer as we come.
