| I Loved You, One Night. You pull me tight into you Until I become your arteries The blood pumping in your veins Your muscles contracting as we make love Our chapped lips touch lightly, Cold but burning from the Thick, saturated winter air. The snow is falling, almost in suspension: Volatile, angry, beautiful. A white renewal. You know this is the last time We will make love Our sex is angry, powerful. I feel you entering me Without softness, without regard. You want to tear my soul to pieces. Something to remember you by. Electrical current runs through my torso I stare up at the telephone wires I see us making love there The current is electrifying us As we travel through the thick ropes Up, down, up down. Your full, rough lips slam into mine Press the memory of late night conversations: "Besos, mi amor. Te quiero." Your hands travel over my bottom Memorizing scars; my troubled youth. My sad story. I stare at the snow fallen on Your tightly closed eyelids They turn into faux tears You pick up speed I can feel the muscles in Your shoulders contract You grab fistfuls of flesh from my bottom Throw your head around Pounding hard with abandon The snow blankets us from all around I can feel explosions deep within me And your screams in the far-off distance Echoing. You glance around your shoulder Searching for voyeurs I pull you back into me. People like us do not care. |
