Winter as an Aphrodisiac
by Megan GuimbellotThe drive home is icy//leather seats and lack of heat but the blood in my veins feels alive and I like it//it feels like making love and it seems tonight's the night. So I let the starlight lead and wash over me
Trailing
Traipsing
Over my skin, shoulders, arms, wrists, fingers, tips...
The breeze is nothing more than cold hands raising goosebumps and sending chills down my spine/hands to hold on hips, moving down/I am naught but senses now/I can taste the anticipation as this night brings me closer, closer, building up something, this thing inside warm like summer rain and morning coffee//tantalizing/my breath rises in smoke signals to tell everything. Shaking tense, waitingwaitingwaiting
Go.
