Pink

Sunrise and bloodypale sunset,
Sex, sunbleached blood on cotton,
Hot ham fleeing the oven,
My eyes the morning after wine,
Shrimp, God’s favorite memories,
Sun-baked adobe deep in the desert,
Rosé splashing into my fancy glass,
Little girls, flamingos, flagrant shame—
Muscles buffering my bursting heart.
