hot georgia nights

•~

i recall those hot georgia nights
     with so little reprieve
   from the sticky heat
of beautifully bruised
    peaches

and my teeth
     sinking deep into flesh
that bleeds sweeter than a virgin
     breaking her chaste vows

   i reckon it's a sin
    to taste something
so sweet

     my lazy hand
wipes at the juices
       trickling down my chin

i sure do miss them
    those hot Georgia nights
with so little reprieve
    from the sticky heat

can't recall a memory
   ever tasting so sweet
