When does a secret crush become
Dangerous
?
Can crushing be invasive?
Sexuality sabotaged into someone else’s
Fantasy
.
Smokestack
Lightning
Locomotives and raging rivers
A simple hurricane, a brief tornado
Fewer than five Richter points
Slipping scales dipping into tipping
Stasis?
Stasis?
Bueller?
What if you never wanted to see
her razor sculpting hair
above her pubic bone? Prefer a
bone of my own,
filleted away
from whatever gives it life,
makes it sing and dance
inside me
where only
a bone can go
Some flowers reject crushing,
thorns waiting, spindles thirsty for blood
under velvet petals.
