patchwork patterns

 

 

 

a step or two
beneath a beige sheet
fire sparks

and brimming eyes
feel flushed limbs
swell and throb;

the blaze burns deeper

 

 


patchwork patterns
of redness and irritation
knit over a creamy background

exhausted pores cry with chills
as the fire spreads beneath


tender skin
aches for relief of the tightness

 

and soreness begs
for a soothing cure
to smother the flames
