after a brief intermission a second act will be performed

taking time for taco tuesday until you texted me

you had gotten off work early and wanted company

i quickly made my way to you and knocked upon your door

where i became the raging sea that’s crashing on the shore

for when you opened up the door so you could let me in

you were wearing nothing but the moonlight on your skin

i swept you up into my arms and took you to the sheets

the fabric of my clothes dissolved by burning in the heat

lips on fire hands aspired to actuate foreplay

but these became one and the same of something in the way

and like a person drowning in the violence of a storm

in the ocean a frenzied motion was all that i performed
