Desire

By Cody Austin

My legs are wrapped around your waist.
unholy palm to palm, wrapped around each others fingers,
sweetly unchaste.
Unfold me, in tender tensions. 
Unruly desire, rosy cheeked.
The piercing blade of nostalgia. 
You are the old flame for which I ignite.
Kneeling before the votive, pray the pearl rosary.
