Golden Sappy Mess

by Misti Rainwater-Lites

 

In between your mouthwash swish and offer of pancakes
your morning wood making your Scooby Doo boxers obscene
I fell into that giggly shameless kind of love
the kind I had not known since I was fifteen
when River Phoenix hung on my wall
yes, give me your minty fresh kisses
your butter dripping maple syrup drowned pancakes
and your bright and early erection
to stroke and adore
the dazzle will go where dazzles go
limping in defeat into the swallowing night
but for now
we've got this new day dawning love
golden and sappy
and spilling all over
the place
