gasoline

you just know where it will lead to—
the prelude of a lingering kiss
upon the fumes of a heated and ravenous breath

and you’re already a weary veteran of this road

’cause it’s going to combust,
the spirits of her mouth
entering yours
with that NO NAKED FLAMES tattoo
falling from her lips
into the curves of her chest

the fragrance of a weathered fuel tank
leaking unleaded desire
