Avoiding All The Hard Parts-

Red-lipped, red-blooded, equipped
with a bomb-shell
We made love beat like defeat
and liquid cancer quite the answer
Double-fisted, tight-lipped kisses
quoting sandy acid cursive
Buttons bursting with winter love so
stuff your pockets and I'll starve later.

Midnight Drive-

Her hair was dripping through her shoulder blades
and all you saw was certainty.
Street lights chase her eyes
and stop signs slide right by.
Silence in the snow
arriving so sweet on withered lips
again and finally alive.
