Second Chances Aren’t Forever

I want everything

 

I want to devour you.

I want to be that cliché, the moth to a flame.

I want tumultuous, always guessing never sure, untamed.  

 

I want everything

 

I want gentle kisses, a slow brush of lips.

I want limbs intertwined, to be pressed hip to hip.

I want scary and exhilarating like going 80 in a 40.

 

I want everything

 

I want the horrible, the screaming, the twisted mind games.

I want your knuckles tattooed purple from fist fights with other men.

I want all your nights to involve me, wine, and shots of gin.

 

I want everything

 

I want you to see me cry after every severed promise.

I want to know why you said “you were ready” to only be dishonest.

I want to go back to when you’d kiss me and I’d flush azalea pink.

 

I want nothing.

 

I want everything

My Never Ending Nightmare

The Feeding

A dusty fan circulated across the room from one end to the other. It’s been a while since Augustus put it to use, so he couldn’t blame the junk for its inability to remember its single duty. Arkansas hasn’t had a summer night like this since he was a child. He lay in his damp […]

The Bat & The Bird

  The dark still nurses its secret. But the change in the bat is inevitable even in night skies. If she’s alive now, then she was dead before. Staying put bestowing to habit, Though, like a stone, unaffected. That wasn’t it. The bat slept. Masked upon black mildew, As angels wept over dead ice. Frozen […]

I Was Lying in the Sun

  I was lying in the sun, Near juniper shrubs and storybook villas. Not enough profit and pleasure in the telling of, The tapping of a cigarette, The brush of bare knees, A long draught of wine, Closing the shutters on balconies, With blinds made of lace at Angel’s Bay. Red watermelon hues. I’ve read […]
