I / II ❋ Aiki Coxhead
I
Experiencing excitement stemming from latent physical want,
I do not like the feeling of being in love, but I do it
all the time
be careful! She says, the water is too hot I burn my tongue and
relish my mistake
if you sit with yourself and agree to do something that frightens you
you can, they say, achieve greatness and overcome your fears but
you will, also,
be afraid and that might not
go away
II
mile after mile
of sticky and sweaty thighs
peeling me like bubble gum off the
booth, its
thighs sticky on me on
the booth between
you’re glowing
pink like bubble gum
peel you off the seat and into my
mouth
smudging lipstick
along your chin
you taste
like salt
and beer
smudging lipstick
along your chin
im blurry baby
