Beware






Beware


beware the call of skin
each sticky cell
but filaments of remembered bone
sticky as molasses dripped on linen
gathering form as strung pearls 
distinct and clear as knocks at a door
opening 
under the charge of that first hot kiss
beware the call of skin shimmering each
pounded breath of new-found air

  2. I'm like a moth drawn to your flame, Pearl. With or without warning!
