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

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
