Welcome to day 123 of the 365 day poem challenge.
Word of the day mawkish meaning "excessively sentimental or so sappy it's sickening."
Thief
Riding in the back of the car
The lights are flashing red
In the black night like the 80s
A mawkish melody
There is music and insects
The radio crackles
The road is deserted and in this light romantic
Two people
His eyes are off in the distance and on the wheel
Then they're full of lust
Those white balls
Impenetrable and frightening
The touches are delicate
The searching until he finds
The soft folds he has been thinking about
He places those soft hands on
His lap not forceful
The noise of insects is replaced with sweat more powerful than aeroguard it kills the world around
There is a frantic scrambling
There is no noise no smile not laugh
Nakedness is palpable
This could be anywhere
Images of animals on their backs
Permissive and open come to mind
There is no pain just numbness
Then it is done.
Forever.
