Fire

Fire like anger, wrap heat around the moist parts of me, pink membranes exposed to cold. Fire like anger, burn away the feeling of knobby fingers in tiny spaces, twisting gossamer fabric tearing silky skin. Fire like anger, cauterize my childhood, fill gaps in memory with bloated fabricated pictures of sweet childhood, darkly edged, the easy lie the willful believe. Fire like anger, shut my eyes, let me flinch from your light, your heat, away from the passion of languid bodies undulating under the summer sun, away from warm fingers slipped into mine tingling pads rubbing in secret. Fire like anger, char my useless bones, the transparent muscles under bulbous weight. Fire like anger explode, incinerate me, imprint me on the sidewalk, the shadow of me never illuminated
