girl love

We sit together,
all legs and breath and sweat.
Our love is like honey, raw and sticky sweet,
open wound blood from a scraped knee. 
I take it pumped into my veins, 
pulsing through my arteries, 
bite my lip just to taste it.
Sink our teeth into each other like we're tender meat;
juices dripping down my chin. 
The blurry light of a heat wave felt
in the aching wind moving waves, hair, and heart.
The humming fan overhead mixes
with the ringing in my ears,
and I know forever cannot stay,
but in the silence, she is here.
