Rope Burn. Poem by Kim Dang

Clutch me, wrap your arms around my body, tight, like rope burn
Foreheads mushed together, red, everyone said this'd hurt
And while we're breathing together, sharing the same rhythm
It's like I've let the pieces of me go on sudden exhibition -
now it's your turn.

We'll somersault into our Disney waterfalls
Immortalize that 'love' caroled by Elton John.
So let's go, my restless warrior; wide eyed wanderer.
Get Lost on some island, abandoned offshore.
There'll be just coconuts, our surging lust and nothing more.
