All This I Ask Of You [In Vain]
Daniel Sisson
Light Vase| Alison Grant | Hand Built Ceramic Sculpture
Crushed flower. Orange flame.
Sizzle. Breath. Rush.
Lips on yours.
Dry.
Warm.
Different.
Bodies move like seaweed. High tide.
Faceless man fulfilling your desires.
Fulfilling?
Filling.
Spilling.
Sweat, blood, salt
Drips down thighs and shoulders.
Take a deep breath.
Close your eyes, picture me.
Tip of your toes to
The last strand of slick, brown hair
Overflows.
Try to ignore the pressure.
Build up.
Get up.
Stand up.
Stand up. Fix your hair, get dressed in the bathroom
Behind privacy of locked doors.
No buzz. Shake off. Clean up. Clean up. Clean up.
Regret, repent, remember.
Return.
