FREED VERSE

'bloom' is a reduction,
'blossom' quite the bore.
those orchids don't know the half of it 
when his soft-skinned beauties
meet mine: never chapped for more than a breath 
or two 
or three.
or...

can't walk straight with these jelly-filled knees. 
not that i'd want to stand upright 
when falling is sweeter 
than the sugar i'm rubbing into the wound.
