painful compassion

metal ceramic paint,
coffee mug burn on my
mount of apollo
very real and almost blistering
i invite a kiss to better it.

and today,
sticky glue
melted chemicals, searing hot
a small coverage of my
jupiter finger
it reddens and stings
and my offer still stands

now, i fabricate a lie
of how boiling morning liquid
pained my monochrome lips
and a smirk that would hurt otherwise
that speaks in devil-tongues
for a healing
mouth to mouth kiss

his laugh pleases all of the senses
sight; saran wrap eyes
scent; solstice gum
touch; cracking through my sternum to my heart (emotional)
taste; mouthwatering
sound; weak, sputtering like an overturning engine, soft
and all around absofuckinglutely beautiful
