Sugar Me Down
Candy between my fingers, sticking to
my skin. Snaps in my ear, surface kissing
surface. Even when I scrub it clean, there
you will always linger. We are a lot
alike, two tasty toys. Come get a piece
of  me, honey. I’ll swim in your viscosity.
I want that cotton candy mane in my
face, sugar melting on my tongue. Sweet breath
of  yours I breathe. In this dry desert, it
might rain. You’ve got me soaked, you’re like syrup
on me. I try to wash my skin, but sweetie,
you’re stuck to me. Your caramel voice,
I can’t resist, the savory have left me
unsatisfied, and I want something sweet,
sugar. I’ll stick to you and you’ll stick to
me, skin on skin, surface kissing surface.

Rain
In the rain,
this thunder
on his way home
he rebelled.
He a disco dancer,
single Friday night award winner
on the floor.  High school dropout.
He drove off the road edge.
He was drunk, Jack Daniel’s
was his driving instructor.
Jack Daniel bottle left at grave.
It never rains in a dry casket.
Shelter under this roof,
no worries about cops-
anymore.

Deep Breathing
You are the exhale
the slow, controlled
sinking chest, shutting eyelids,
softening muscles into soft
bedsheets
the release and
resulting relaxation you
are my sense of  serenity
at the exhale of  each breath
the rejuvenating rest
for my rigorously working
lungs
I must be the inhale
for together,
We are breath
