Clicking
Swelling
Bright eyes flash
Wine cherry on articulate tongue
Banter jazz white hot
The Lord sings, The king swings
Snapping
Time sits slow
But the cadence is steady
Squeezing every minute
A vampire for each other
Needing assimilated skin
Wanting the warmth in your vein
Sweet with bitter finish
Grapes and hops
Holding us in smiling cradle
coarse tongues talk
We swing to the night
Skin glowing
Dancing to the bowl
And glitter is under shining skin
Lips and hands on this baby Star
Burning bright
Accepting someday death
Saying goodbye to sweetness at the door
Watching love enter quiet night
While our skin reflects
Smelling the jasmine tree
We drink God's body from the glass
Turning climbing
Hold tight now don't let go
We no longer have a rewind button
And the apple
Finds my teeth
Sinking
Crisp flesh satisfied
tart in blanketed being
The salt and sweat tell the tale.
