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
