Tended fever life, bidden
Fire, crackles
Veins. Vicious-cycle primed, I
Heave logs on the
Blaze to warm our
Love on damp
Bed of nails and
Passion scratches. Let’s
Wrest and let it
Be, this spawn of
Moment. You and I, we
Trade in bruises, one uses the
Other, beloved,
Fused together in prickly
Twine.
