an oldie (but a goodie) from the drafts section, 10/18/15

i kiss you pressed up against
your middle school's back doors

this is not a mistake

this kiss is a sense of dominance
this kiss is a dog peeing a circle of territory

this kiss is me peeing a circle of territory
and it tastes like strawberries

it tastes warm and blurry like
a small bottle of gin shared
on the steepest slope of riverside park
in the cold
