midnight, on a weekday (Free verse) by peaceseeker
humidity and rain
a sticky combination
like flames of passion
inextinguishable
no matter how hard it rains,
the fire burns on and on,
the rhythmic pitter-pattering
on my body, inside, I smoke,
water resistant to your proposals
to enter me and live
your desire for a baby is transparent
in an instant I see your unmet infantile
desires in your eyes,
in your demeanor
projected onto me,
just because I won't
and you said you only
wanted a mattress pump
I know you lie to get inside
I set you up
in my back hallway
went inside my space capsule
trying to ignore
the pounding on my door.
