77

i think about all the things

that I want to feel on my skin

salt water

hair

sheets

skin

and then more skin

i want to feel fire

let it drape over me

as if it were another body

a canopy of flesh

covering me in hands and sweat

the fire illuminates faces

glowing eyes and mouths

warming hands that are held together

feeling the warmth through thick jumpers

right down to our bones

like a liquid we feel it in our marrow

there are waves of it

waves and waves of it

i think things like

"feel warm as shit"

we throw wood into the fire

we throw ourselves into the fire
