You were god
and sin—
a lit cigarette pressed to my ribs.
I begged for the burn.
I begged for salvation.
Baptism
Daily devotion
Slip with me into a writhing—
lip locking,
tongue twisting,
tied and tethered,
wet and filthy dance.
.inhale.
Drop
me to my knees,
fingers desperately
clutching your waist–
in prayer.
.exhale.
Your rhythmic, fevered tango—
sadistic sacred sway—
unravels my wild pulse
flooding you—
licentious consummation.
