going (Free verse) by slipping
Your heart rumbles, like, steel pan and I think it wants
Me to
Get
Go-ing
Closer
If
Possible
So I tickle you to take advantage
Of pink moments. Thriving on
Such, On Temptation,
To lie with platonic men and make
Lovers ironic. We sleep with pretense,
measuring breaths, Because pentameter
Indicates when to break
The fast and begin our tangled
Hysteria. I am parched,
Always, So parched,
Around a man's body, The torso turns
Me over and on, I blink green
Like heaven's traffic lights. You, Always red,
Hesitate to start, tuning finely,
To "spoil things,"
but I,
Incorrigible,
Toil with no breakpads,
My skin,
Flannel comfort
Emotions
Reversible
