COMBUSTIBLE

she's aflame

flickering blue-hot shadows of passion

twist around her body in dreamy motion

serpentlike wisps of incandescent feeling

trail off

inhaled by my body

as she draws near

close

her emotional heat

starts to oxidize me

slithering winter furnace warmth

crawling up my arms

down my legs

this meat puppet architecture of mine

melts away

reorganizing itself

into pure translucent desire

a desire veiled

except for a quick melted ice cube glance

in her direction
