Lush
Your bottle beckons, begs my lips to sip
such sweetly choking poison things; I love
to let you watch me stumble, drunk on you.
Your vapors make me high, like second grade-
the Sassy Marker Sniffer. Purple lied;
it didn’t really smell like grapes at all.
To me, it feels like Paris: foreign tongue
and muddled lights. I love our red-light lust
and how I know you’ll never love me, too.
Your label sticks like skin to bone. I shred
and coax. My fingers bleed beneath their nails,
but you just laugh and put me on the rocks.
