Atomic Fireball

Atomic Fireball

As a little girl
I Loved Atomic Fireballs
I would stuff my little pink pockets with them.
I would steal them off of my little sister.
I was the neighborhood hero—
I could put five of them in my mouth at once!
(It’s still the standing record you know)
They were penny candy treasures l hoarded
like my play doh
and my weebles.

I am a big girl now.
Well,
I like to say, “I’m older” --
rather than “big.”
But,
I still Love Atomic Fireballs.
“How could you stand those things?”
they’d ask,
“They burn your lips and your tongue –
and they make your eyes water!”
“Oh, I do more than stand them,” I reply,
“I crave them!”

You are reading this now.
You are saying to yourself –
“Gee, this is a silly poem.  
Her other poems aren’t like this.”
“You’re right,” I say, “You don’t get it do you?”
Typical man—
Thick as a rock.

You see…
You
Are my Atomic Fireball.
it is the bitter, scalding hot taste
of you I crave.
Oh, I could have him – he is sweet and so within my reach
But,
I want you.
You’ll make me burn,
my eyes will water,
my pulse will roar.
Here’s how I desire to take you,
and savor you…

Rubbing you gently,
i’ll touch you delicately to my lips
kissing your tangy redness with mine.
Just the touch of you to me
and your heat is making my lips
swell.

My heart is beating faster, harder
I know I have to take you into me.
My fingertip crosses the threshold of my lips…
pushing you onto my tongue
into my heat.
I’ll breathe hard as I roll you around --
And around
Inside of me
My tongue cupping you
Cradling you
Sucking you
Your firey juice
Scorching my sweet pink skin
Oh how I love the burning pain
The exhilaration of having you.
You.
So forbidden,
Torturous,
Mine.  I’ll make you mine
When
I swallow you
Slowly-
Piece by piece
Until your heat is in every pore of my body.
Then…
When it is over –
I’ll smile at you
And go back for more
Because…

you can never have just one Atomic Fireball.


(it’s over now…you can breathe)
