Crude
You pull me into your arms and days begin and end with bared teeth and resistance and tongues of fire and my father’s words you’ll regret it spooling out in winds over plains, flowing down the sweet river of all there is. I choose your crude love.

ReplyDeleteThank you, Draug! I really appreciate the kind words.
DeleteThank you so much, Jo-Anne. Every time I read the challenge, I think, "I can't come up with anything for that," but somehow I manage to. It's really a lot of fun to try new things and new kinds of writing. I appreciate your reading and comment.
