Erin Taylor: The Red Between Your Legs
to fall in love before leaving a city
the red between your legs
wiping it on your thighs
the burgundy sheets are stained
with you
and I want to always sleep on them
there is something gorgeous about the
subtle silence of your smile on my roof
in the golden sunlight
your taste in my mouth
you you you you
are a body I am learning
how many moments of philadelphia sunlight
are going to be your body in my mouth
