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.
