bent on ruin

Smells hung in the air, the result of those

Consequential peons.

Not a burning, fire smell. More like a thick

Yet concise spiciness, which tickled the nostrils 

Rather than setting them aflame.

There is nothing shattered, and yet I hear a breaking.

A smoky haze traveled your body in my dream.

Fluttered over your cheeks, seemed to pause at your

Lips, which parted to allow your tongue to wet them.

Flowed past the curve of your neck, passing over wonderful

Shoulders, wisping

About to your hands, your knuckles, your fingertips.

Where I get stuck, after a pit stop at your navel,

Is the cool form of your legs, the way your calves fit into

My hands, the tremendousness of your thighs.

If a love is what you want,

Then here is hate and lies and deceit.

Here is the inspiration for your desire

The dam’s opened valves, the flooded

Thought makes at the doors of your soul.

Here is the aching crush you crave,

That inefficient fancy, that overwhelming self-sacrifice

Into sunlight and darkness. And I dare you to finish

What you’ve started. Because here, Friction,

Here is where I rise above the honesty you bring

Daring through the reality, here is where I triumph

The blood’s warm life, triggering

My brain’s understanding of the rifling I have

Inside of me, each dance of the joy

Wrung deeper, because here, Friction,

Here is where the world ends, every time.
