R.A.D. Stainforth's lovely read...he knows how to pronounce it...
It starts small and slim,
Hard
as diamonds ―
The
irresistible urge swells
Until
it softens amoebic,
Wobbles
together,
Turns
its mind to pleasure,
Hell-bent
on growing
Plump
with desire.
It
streams the windshield,
Before
the wipers beat
It
to the finish,
With
the breathed-on speed
Of
a shooting star.
