lust

rushing wind brings
a violent smell of seduction
it impales the core of primal animal mind
blood surging
heartbeat echoing in the cavern
beneath the ribs
not just beauty, not just longing
but a vortex of lust
heatwaves pulse through the skin
stubble stands on end
throat clamps down like a greasy fist
desire to feel flesh
between teeth
to feel sweat and hair scraping tender skin
stinging wounds
drive a white thread of intense
concentration
from one spine through another
enormous burden of want
makes flesh slap flesh
grab with fingers, legs, mouth
draw breath like drawing fire
and scream --
