Straw

"Don't be scared..."
      "I', m not.....",  I swallow my anxiety in a deep breath
  As we count to 3 in our heads, hoping this little experiment
Won't be a bust.
       One, we shyly let down our guards
        Two, your touch emits a burning shiver
        Three, we both close our eyes as we lean in closer:


                  -Curtains-


Suddenly, a rush of maddening chi zips through our veins
And pierces some deep vortex, exploding in ultraviolet lightening flashes confetti bursts nuclear bomb; mad carousels, rushing roller coaster
hands-in-the-air exhilarates, kaleidoscopic gardens bloom, insane clowns dark jests, impromptu exhibitions through vast sea mountains crushing blue vestiges; stark gunshots pop strawberry hearts; red rose petals bleed on milk,
               an utter heartbreak:

   Our eyes fling open together. I bite my lip not knowing
What to say. You don't, either. That was, some kiss.
