Dim concert halls, hiking trails, the car left in park.
Sweaty palms, leather seats, fiery secrets in the dark.
Hot showers, steamy windows—shadows shifting positions,
Sweat dripping, breath hitching, surrender in submission.
A fistful of hair; a mouthful of deep hunger
Inching toward throbbing crescendos.
Let the symphony linger before leaving the stage
To purge the last note, to spit out the echoes.
Forgotten safe words remembered.
Souvenirs rest uncensored.
Aftertastes and afterglows.
Quivering in final death throes.
