My Man
The fingers crawled over
my lips, each step a crunch
on my parched soul -
lullaby for my desires
But where’s the wind ?
Where was it, before the drizzle?
The crawl slithered into sleek
curling my lips into his mouth
like a prey, I panted in his loop
struck by the venom of his kiss
I strangled reaching for the antidote
You unheard my Ahhh as -
mistaking it for consent.
My naked body cracked in the sun
frail limbs creeping towards the shade
He snatched me like a predator
engulfed my head and slowly
all of me .
My bones and tendons
all crushed in his muscular coil.
A chill and breath left in me
maybe just for tomorrow.
