of the other persuasion
all i can say
is that they are not of
flesh and bone;
in fact
it is very likely that
their lips are brands
that scorch your mouth
and leave you panting
for a cool drink of
their tongue
that speaks to you in words
of heat that slinks to
their fingers
that serve, in all actuality, as
conductors
for the electricity bolting
from your own skin
that they use as power
to entrance you, entice you
and make you linger
to see what else of them
is not really what it seems
