she has free long distance
and wants to spend hours with me,
making us believe in our sex again

soon it will be october,
but she'll still have the heat

while i layer my bed with
blankets of our conversations
and snippets of her words
to keep me vibrant and young

it's one of the seven deadly sins
to want someone 10 years younger,
but i was always fond of lust

she can post into my chest,
withdraw a lung,
and i'll still have enough of her breath
to keep me conscious
throughout the year.
