Dear love,
just a bite; a nip of the flesh.
Allow me to lap up your nectar as it runs down my arms,
paint my lips with your colour,
dot your perfume in the hollow behind my ear, inhale my twisted wrists...
peaches in spring
juice in summer
ferment me.

If You Love Me, You'll Do It
I met Jason when I was five years old. I could say that I loved him from the moment I saw him. He was so handsome to me and I felt in awe by his presence. When they introduced him as the new kid in school, I wanted to be his friend right away. I remember it like it was yesterday. I remember his smile and how he didn't seem shy. He appeared confident and ready to learn. I waved at him and said "hello," before anyone else could even say a word. He sat next to me, and I asked him if he wanted to be friends. He looked so happy as he said, "Yes!"
