Breathless, I awake to strangers

Only wearing shoes and socks

Needing nothing more, I rise

Leaving Nothing behind

No mark of a passionate tryst

That may or may not have occurred

Only inside my head

So often described by others as sensitive

I’m thinking so much

My head might detonate

So I’ll retreat to a place

Where slumber moves

And goes nowhere

All at once

How beautifully distracting

In this place of soot and stain

Your sad eyes make me weak

My lack of qualms hold me

Blanketing me in a crowded street

Thick with empty

Wild with laughter

Where we can play pretend, you and me

Games like fortune, camaraderie, and love

I turn a corner

Catching breath

Your and my mask removed

We play house in this feral game called life

Years have passed that dirty sight

Turning into slideshows pictures

Still you’re on my skin

You stick

Thee who touches me will feel you

And I’ll teach them how it feels

To be you on me

For no water could remove your grime

You dirty fuck
