Accidental Escape
flame brands flesh
it was an accident!
a delicious, tingly
rush of blood, exultant face
I swear, it was an accident!
but I feel alive
and
suddenly awake
the second time, too, was an accident!
throbbing
but I don't speak up this time
and nurse it quietly
with a smile
an accident, it was an accident!
then, while lighting a cigarette,
a stinging sensation
singes my eyelashes.
even now lid burns with_
desire?
was it? was it an accident?
or did I sabotage myself?
pain brings me to me
sets the longing heartache free
as my cheeks burn with bold
as my fingers burn with blistered love
as my eye burns
with_desire
