Love Sandwich

Caught: sandwiched between
Love and more love:
How can I resist?
How much longer can I pretend?

This warmth; your warmth,
Seeping stealthily into me:
Demonstrating how
Pores and capillaries
Dilate.

This sweetness and pain
Mixed forever like
Flour and swollen rain...

This bleeding like
Surrender;
Like a Queen
Who loosens her
Robe,
Which falling,
Buckles and convulses
To the ground..

I notice then the blindfold:
Your prescription
For taking me deeper
Into this: the
Saving Grace
Of my
Undoing.
