Crushed Cherry Mouth

chests pressed 
cause 
heavy breaths 
in this constant 
exchange of 
carbon dioxide
and my lungs 
keep searching 
for oxygen
in your kisses
just like my hands
keep searching
for your skin
against mine
and my 
crushed cherry mouth 
tight 
against yours
your tongue
slipping
in and out
reminds me
of the ocean
deep & wet
and i am 
20 days 
lost in it.
fingers slip
then
grasp and grip
each of us
craving our
wild
this night
a verse
of our summer
set in the
thick hot air
and you 
speak like 
a friend
and
touch like
an animal
and make me feel
like my crushed cherry mouth
is your last meal

Sadness.

Sunshine once crawled through my eyes and leaked out of the cracked windows.
We'll call that sadness.
