Let Us Be Lavish in Our Sins

Let us be lavish
in our sins,
not condemned to
the tortured lives
of cowering saints
lost to history.

Let us accept the
sanctity of flesh and
worship with abandon,
melting into one another
as we embrace the
certainty of our demise.

My heart pounds
at the sight of your
beauty spread across
these borrowed linens
that will soon bear witness to
our lovely transgressions.
