‘Flint and Ferrous’
Gold and 9mm rounds, I swallow them whole, brass biting my throat, wrapped in silver foil, tongue tasting the burn— hard money for my soul.
I flick the lighter— it sputters, catches, your grin flickering, and the fire drips through my bones.
Your touch—a match, a jolt of ice, phosphorus, and a striking taste on your breath, mint and muddled fruit.
Molten metal pushed by pressure through my veins, pulse quickening, heat tearing seams, or so it seems.
I turn to oil in your hands, a slick sheen, sliding— massaging my chest, ribs counted, as I hold my breath, and that’s just a Sunday or a Friday.
Nothing left, but to resurrect, and die for the sins of a man, you spreading my limbs abreast, staring as this daughter rises, and rays fall as my back arches.
