the sinus drip of stifling air and
grimy windows as we sip on humidity,
no names allowed, anonymous in its sin

hidden in a truck stop bathroom,
the heat, the sweat—
flies are sucked down a drain,

his skin gives off the smell of a tattoo
and I recognize this puma is no ink blot,

a thimble-full burns my eyes— I bare
my teeth, to have him here right now,

a cracked mirror fractures the image
showing the act multiple times, as
more than one of him.

I don't care at this moment when he
presses my back to the floor
and I'm just as wet

Very steamy, and the last line really drives it home. Can't say I feel the same about the location, though
