lust bites

saying i love you is like scratching summer skin
relief in a rush, then the tingling spreading sin
knees got pink and grew, elbows ankles creepy crawl
infected, engorged, inescapably enthralled

theres a bug bite on my ass

i’m back, rollin pizza dough
dad upstairs, swatting mosquitoes
bringing the heat, a promotional t-shirt
makes a flat, clean thwap and stains stairwells
