FM Love
Not a wind
rattling shutters,
but a keen radiation;
I am the throbbing
in the hollow
vacuum tubes
of your heart.
Nightclub
dense wall of writhing
flesh, hits you
a hot tsunami
the reptilian brain
licks itself
into power
creeps from out
its ancient burrow
beneath the cerebellum
grips the mind with
keen claws
of pent up instinct
you drown in images
of perfect limbs
curves destined for limbo
faces you won’t
even remember
wanting to
