Velvet straps

Blushing blooming flower
red blue full of desire
she lays still 
pouring slowly 
spill
drips of love
holding tights and latex gloves
she makes it easy
but hard to breath
slowly letting out
with ease
pushing further into night
like heros fighting unlikely frieghts
she wonders home
step one two three
leaving me here 
breathing slowly

This feels like desire wrapped in velvet and exhaled through a dream. There’s a push-pull tension here--soft and blooming, but also shadowed and breathless. “She makes it easy / but hard to breathe” -- oof, what a line. That final walk away? Quietly devastating. Your work always feels like a memory being lived in real time.
