Sweet notes of sex linger in the air

A moanful memory

Enticement and enchantment decorate like humming twinkly lights in dim

A slow afterburn

A buzz that still leaves nerves heightened and shimmering

As the body breathes back what it let out

In

Deep

Core

Pleasure

A reverberation that tickles the spine

And boxing-match knocks the lungs right outta the ring

And into the gasp of your name

That bursts into the air like a birth of a sunflower all at once

Bright

Bursting

Every lasting touch still throbbing through roadmap veins

Drunk and shaky, still

Drinking it all in

Filled to the brim

Clinging to skin like edges of teacup thin cliffs

Goddamn.
