Getting better is as simple as getting up

and doing it.

Or, at least I think it should be.

Worrying about what I’m doing next isn’t helping

When I’m not doing anything right now.

A city on the clouds

I smell you

Awaited awakening

loose lipped, tight tipped

Injecting deep into me

formaldehyde of jealousy

 Rhythmic warm chill

presses on pulsating throat

sticky skin anoints

soothing balm of obssession

Surrender fills silence

thighs pillow dormant anger

your cunning apology

having resentfully missed me

tendrilled fingertip...
