Poem: Fire Kiss

 

 

Fire Kiss

 

the fault line of your kiss has

fractured me down through the tectonic  

plates of my chest and

ruptured the magma there

to pant fire and burst out of

my sternum, fabled violets and

roses melting my bones, my blood

a mad vapor, musculature

to pump and boil, thigh and

piston of bicep, and that torch

of the crucible of abdominis,

seat of ache and flesh and

my ribs split and list, sides of

a galleon cleaved aft to fore

clutching at each other in

the solar churn of this heart,

such complict rhythms of

blaze and ecstasy.

to feast

on the merge of our breaths and moans,

pursue the resonance across

the volcanoes of your breasts, your

lunge and that surge in your eyes, so clear

with delicious fever, secret places

forever shared between us, yours, mine,

mysterious cores of naked, brutal being

which cast the first flame.
