I’m the girl you grew up watching in porn, behind the scenes.
Fixing her hair for pictures in desk lamp lighting,
adjusting blindfolds to hide freckles dotting each iris.
Action: licking your body to commit every vein to memory.
I can devour all of you like a midnight snack
and stomach seconds before sunrise.
When the film stops rolling, my belly growls
for fried cheese sticks and hot tea.
The shower steaming my flesh is a rebirth.
I launder panties in the sink wearing a thin cotton tee.
Bitterness for unrequited love corrodes
all hope like vinegar on your teeth.
