Bones Set to Fire
Her thin dress lay on her naked, hope’s
candle kindle a wantonness showing how
love looks good on a woman.
Her eyes make the air pulse, dark like magnets
draw him in, engraving anxiety older than
memory.
Her flesh knows the late season, tho’ a lusty
thigh still keeps vigil’s desire, a glee of prowess
hunting a prosperous afternoon.
He poses in a crazy man’s shadow, a madness
sculpted in lust, torch held high he walks her
body like a jaunty tightrope.
He strokes her like a fine stone, her lips begging
him to mark her where it won’t wear off, so he’ll
find his way back to her again.
