Incendiary Poem by Charles Malcolm

Incendiary



She tastes like fruit punch
and gasoline
and doesn't stare
obnoxiously
at these vermilion burns
with surprise.
I find myself
chewing tinfoil and match heads
as she speaks.
When she stops
I crush cigarettes in my palm
and smile down
at the raining embers.

They remind me of her
as they kiss the concrete
and disappear.
