the wanting

a dull aching pain
somewhere
in the middle of my woman
climbing upward
exploding outward
trying to break through my skin
with the sound
of angry, barking dogs from hell
claiming their share
of the incandescent moon

painted red

lying down
to sleep
I am
distracted

my eyes
are closed
but I see

a vision
playing
softly
in my mind

your little toes
painted
red

strong woman
showing delicate
soul

I cannot sleep
not now
and
never again

heat rash

it gets hot
out here
and some of us
want to leave
some of us
just got
back
and some of us
aren't sure
just where in the hell
we really are

it gets hot
out here
and somewhere
between the sun and the sweat
I feel them
every single pair of lips
that has touched me
and tortured me
again
over time

I want to bar the doors

I want to hide from the light

it
gets
so damn hot
