Introduction

Inspired by Melanie, of course. Also inspired by how I feel & the fact that people so nicely love to point that out that I go for older women; but with their maturity can you blame me? Enjoy the read.

summer's breath

sends my sharp n*****s

back through my shuddering chest

to cut holes in my heart

where no patch has ever set foot

like an unarmed burglar in

a bank, hoping

to 

gain

that doesn't mean

I don't think about her,

want to steal her heart

And Dana knows, because 

she asks:


"Who is this woman?" Dana says.
"Well," I say. "She is a very beautiful woman."


My heart spits blobs

of undigested care

into my lungs

I cough

and light a f*g

"What's her name?" Dana asks.

I take a drag 

exhale

now my lungs can open again.

"Well," I say. "Her name is Mel."

Now my heart can breathe again

"Mel," I repeat

the tip of my tongue

prods

plummets

wet mouth ceiling

then
settles.


I like to

drag her name out

and it rinses

my mouth 

with

spicy 

verbal whiskey

and Dana knows, because 

she smells

the fire on my breath

as my eyelids flutter

like black bats.

I take another drag.

"How old is Mel?" Dana pushes.

I sigh blue strings. "Old enough to be 'yer mum."

I really liked this, nice flow, awesome visual, and the ending, price less.
