Avalanche

Running down streets
littered with displaced bricks
uniforms dirty and disheveled

Entering a cavernous darkness,
we don't care

Fuck--
Slamming into each other

Then, mouths moving apart
long enough to suck
in dirty air

my back smashing into
crumbling plaster

We gasp
choking on salvia and soot
the seam of my skirt
splits-- as in the distance
a fire blazes

In one motion
my panties shred
wrecked
your pants shoved down

Blinking an eye
my knees now on a bed
of broken glass
giving you head
ramparts flaring

Desperate to devour
just one more minute
before it is snuffed
out, like a match
once the cigar is lit.

Yanking of my hair, up I rise
a siren slicing the dark night
as piercing as your stare.

Open eyed, we stare
as suddenly you slide
up, my legs hug you tight
The shouts in the night,
clamoring, bells of fright.

Closing my eyes
I know
the place only lovers go

A roar in my ears
growing like the inferno
a shout
a swear

Explosion-- so hot
we remain forever melted
joined

To this spot
a picture of ecstasy
before we rot.
