Safe Haven

Screaming ambulance of
violent upheaval outside

Inside, my ankles are wrapped around
his thrusting hip gift
ecstasy
& all its
passionate uplift

I said; He said

I said I wanted to burn it all
so he brought a fresh match

I said I wanted to bury it all
so he brought a shiny shovel
for all the dirty soil to catch

I said I was going to hide
I yelled as I began to run

He said
"You better run faster, hun"

Love promising
to catch us both
