We and Us

Here is this
Here it is
Us.
We.
Together

She, the homeade, frozen daquiri mix
Her, the vodka fruit punch
Me, the 100 proof Mezcal
I, the Indian fire water
Two twisted as one
Like a mescaline hallucinating chubby checker
In a blender with jagged blue ice
A throat burning, chest grasping fire ball
Screaming down societies gullet
In a ghoulish frenzy

She was a lovely spiked
Stilletto snake pit wrapped
In cold tight leather and
Meat hooked fishnet webbing
Dark smeared mascara and blood red lipstick

I was the stone drunk vagabond
A rabbid frothy mouthed hyena
Pacing wildly in her minx fur dread locked cage

And together
Two combined
Us and we
Became an entity of its own deadly breed
A sex crazed snarling bull demon
Whistling smoke rings
Through charcoal nostrils, flared

Our mixture is an explosive chemical reaction
With whirling, ripping, chain whipping effects
Ours is silk love
With spiked shoulder pads and sharpened cleats
High octane, death injected raw lust
Consuming all in our path
A wrecking ball fist
Covered in bladed glass shards and razor wire
Our kiss is strangling passion
Throttling the minds core
And dicing the souls indecision
Pure.
Wholesome.
Unadulerated.

We and Us.
