Asphyxiated Blue
by Andrea DeAngelis
I have this
ranting cramping urge
to pull him off of you
and shout
into
asphyxiated blue
sulky flesh
shake and throttle you into
pushing-away "NO!"
but women don't talk to each other
only at one another
so I shrug away while
he sucks your face
draining you—
fool.
