Mess Me Up
the heat has us sweating
with sounds like a
massive attack
to the body
jumping in shadows
keeping to the west
where they rise and fall
this is all about me
but I’m glad you were here
even for only a night
I think it was
a fitting reunion
in the dark straddling
your waste I shifted
pumping it hard
then slow and hard again
golden swallows
twinkled and shuddered
swaying to the rhythm
our bodies were making
this could be
a live art installation
they shone in twin lobes
as I stared down at yours
red and blue at the collar
we never expected this
and I’ll expect no more
though I can still
feel the wishes
sliding back on me
it’s easier to push away
knowing the past we share
last night brought
new pleasure to
this wretched day
but not enough
to make the feeling stay
