A command:
Strip
We’re refugees from the sun
Outlaws in this desert pass
There’s a cruel curl in your lip
A chance this rendezvous could be our last
So I’d be a fool to resist
We find heaven in this motel
Nestled between highway markers
Part of a township that’s long since fell
Home to little more than a church, a diner, red-eyed stalkers
And countless twisted and bitter farewells
Our room with peeling wallpaper
Off-white, vertical stripes
You’re lying on the bed
As I slide down your tights
There’s a storm marching in
A perfect framing for the coming night
We won’t sleep
You kiss hard
And play for keeps
I can feel the abscess in your heart
The glistening void as I push you apart
You wince at first
But then pull me deep
My teeth graze along your thigh
My tongue traces the outside
Scratch my chest
Dig graves along my spine
Pull my blood out in rivulets
