Gasping at Straws
Bruises are healing
slowly
on those parts of me
unseen
where I can feel
the memory
of each of your fingerprints
from the leisurely squeeze
that tightened
until I forgot
what breathing used to be

Everyone round here loves a good choking,
Think I should get my belt, for auto erotic…. Wait sorry this is a poem
And not that kind of poem…..
Double the work out of the words, I wonder if the title is enough of a clue?

The title will only be a clue to people who are familiar with the phrase it plays off of, really. There category and hashtags will be helpful for those who aren't. And, if someone takes it in a different direction, well, that's not as off track as it might seem, all things considered. I thought about all that for a little while before I decided to pull this one out of drafts. :-)
Appreciate your take on this.
