Severe Weather Alert

 

Severe Weather Alert

Electricity fills the air, unites

opposite sides of the room. Expanding,

it wraps around everyone, circles us

and pulls tight. Bodies press close together,

flesh prickles with contact, sweat beads beneath

clothing slide between breasts, trickle slowly

reaching down toward a mounting desire.

We are charged particles, bouncing clear of

one another, clinging when we connect.

Inhibition snaps with the crackling

tension, thunder-claps of lust exploding

unspoken words into silent shudders.

 

In a brief collective murmur, we sigh

and wish for the sweet release of the rain.
