Gasping White Light
the velvet knife
of your tongue
cut my skin
into a thousand
streamers of want
I feathered against
the unknown
a breath in the grasp
of insanity
was as ribbons on
the ground,
I was tossed to roll
aimless to reality
fire licked breasts
as thighs brushed static
into the palms of your
hands …
at first touch
is the flashback,
I am burning white flames
