Make Love to Me

Aimee Campbell

Make love to me in the pouring rain. I know that all
the girls ask you, that it's always the same, but I
promise you I'll be different. My body is smoother,
rounder than their patch worked pieces of sagging skin.
And as they lay down their quilted sheets to bring you
sweetly in, I'll be the one forcing your hips deeper
and deeper in. To the mud, underneath that fence, the
one with the barbed wire and the nails bent through my
hands. I'll take you through all those musty layers of
filth, pull you through those raging streams that wrap
you up in raven hairs. I'll bring you to the thinnest
layer of my crimson skin and allow you to watch the
expectation bead upon my waxy brow. And I'll take you
right beneath your mother's open window so that she
can watch your naked back as you thrust greedily into
the heaving earth.
