Dirt

i kiss you
full
fool
i hear you underneath
in between takes
your heart is at the tip of your tongue
come lick my wounds
you're talking dirt
you forget about how she tastes
forget
and you tease my heart in the nude
such an easy thing
freestyle
free flow
my oral skills you take as your own
on your turn
on me
she would never know you memorize
how my lips dance over your neck's sweat
she
she
she would never hear you moan like this
she would never see my lipstick's stain on your collar
she would never smell traces of my perfume
she's your cashmere lily painted on your driveway
she's got the smell of butter on your toast
usual morning treat
she's usual
she's nowhere inside my veins
she's got your college ring and basketball tee and all that
she's there to see you wake
damn i see her
and i was never under your sheets
and i will never feel you
the way you touch her shoulder
kiss her forehead
and i'm just "damn-i-forget-her-name" in front of her
here i kiss you
you kiss me
in between breaths
i hear you said
"i love you"
your words
your words
your dirt
a statement
three words too long
only when i decide to take it
that way
