Damascus

The Ecstasy
By way of cold steel
Cold Damascus Steel

Sunsets in Damascus
With the steel blade

The cold
steel blade

Press it to your lips
Then to my throat
Then to my gums
Then into my face

Leave your mark

Push the cold Damascus steel
into my chest.

Watch the red spring ooze
around the cold steel blade

Watch with intent
Show me the fire in your eyes

I’m an arsonist
drawn to your flame.
