The tattered t-shirt a dying
ember within his tentative
mind
was stamped forever
in a heart long frozen, how
she wore it like a yule log
glowing merriment and joy;
a breach of judgement
ignited concupiscence,
he touched her crimson lips
with his, probed further
until she pulled back,
slapped him like a grease
fire on the stove.
