04. WRITING

Is this the kind of way 
we are at night when sun sinks
below belt of ground and fractured sunlight
like cherry topping caress of hip below the kind of way we light
our candles fire sparking up the match 
distracted or

is this burning heat 
of passion consumed by promises eating through good judgement
like climbing up the goalpost drunk alighting like are we burning out
between the embers fraying are we heat death beneath our fingers
are we dancing soft in gravel hellstrip sighing chameleons of social disease
cringing to sing who are we working on empty stomachs and full lungs 
and fueled lunges to oblivion of dusk 

and why is it such work for me to feel this sweet
