Just like that
It was over a large
Dunkin’ coffee
that I realized …
fuck
It happened.
It fucking happened
just like that
Just like that
we jumped off a cliff
into water so mountain-cold
that it sucked my breath
from my body
and stopped my heart
And just like that
you revived me on the shore,
a hand on my
waist as your
tongue traced
your name
in my mouth,
warm sun
on our skin
as I melted
to life
and just like that
I didn’t get

Last Friday night
Pink cheeks
in the back of your car
as you change my clothes
from cotton to flesh
under the guise of
watching a
drive-through movie
You kiss my racing pulse,
undo the buttons
of my good-girl blouse,
and run your thumb
across the top
of my breasts
as I peel your jersey
from your strong back
trembling hands
and breath,
eyes open
a lost wish
I made
last spring
came true
with...
in the back of your car
as you change my clothes
from cotton to flesh
under the guise of
watching a
drive-through movie
You kiss my racing pulse,
undo the buttons
of my good-girl blouse,
and run your thumb
across the top
of my breasts
as I peel your jersey
from your strong back
trembling hands
and breath,
eyes open

Falling for you is like a zip line over Niagara
It was fucking pouring
when I stepped up
to the Niagara Falls zipline,
200 feet in the air.
But there was no lighting
so the ride was open
with a short,
short line
and I felt
like flying
The kid in braces
locked my carabiners
to the doo-hickey that would
hopefully hold my wet ass
in the air for the
next 60 seconds
and he told me to lean back
into the harness
and starfish
Fuck? What? Say what?

Four words on a game show
BABY, _ NEED YO_
Clue: four word phrase that articulates desire
I spun the wheel
as hard as I could
hoping for a fate change
in the snick, snick, snick
of the spinner bars,
and felt a cold stab
of fear
and disappointment
when the wheel slowed
and the bankrupt wedge
inched closer
you stood in a display case
with a tag
filled with adjectives
that made me ache
I didn’t know
how much
I wanted
to win
until I realized
I probably wasn’t ...
