Love Connection - Parenthetical Girls

chapped lips, tongue kissed

insert expletive

fluids of a summer night

with slight duress

forced imperatives

find me quoting Donovan

a delicate blend

of sweat and menstrual blood

seeping into trampled grass

so take my tongue between your teeth

and taste me by devouring

and i’ll start watching my weight again

oh woke up at dawn

face down on the lawn

head awash with what had been

rest cheek to cheek

fingers underneath

soft impressions of your teeth

some hours lost

and at such a cost

stains and scars i can’t explain

so take my tongue between your teeth

and taste me by devouring

and i’ll start watching my weight again

oh some things are best left unsaid
