Challenge
Remember the supreme sexiness of crafting me ditties about laundry, taxes and going to the dentist? Well, damn--this is going to be a bit boring by comparison. Write me a sweet, neat love poem or story set in the most maudlin or repulsive of situations or settings. Tag me in the comments, please. #loveamongstthestench
Wasted Love
Lovers taking
a trashcan journey,
looking for love
in all the wrong places,
amid the smell
of moldy sex,
stinking in putrid drops
from garbage can rim,
vile contents from
poor judgment.
Face covered in ants
wiped clean
by discarded condoms,
naked unprotected hearts
drowning in coughed spit
and clouded eyes.
Rusty foundation
for groveling sex
as they squeeze
bodies like toothpaste
until they run dry.
One night stand
buried in trash can
overflowing with
littered self-doubt,
thrown out
one particle
at a time
where sordid
truth lies
buried in
damaged souls.
