pink

her lips were painted
a shade of pink
i couldn’t quite identify
one of the crayons
i never used maybe
or a shade
that didn’t exist then
like coral
or a dusty sunset
across the red clay hills
i longed to kiss them
to see that pink
smeared
as she kissed my throat
bit my collar bone
explored
leaving graffiti
flecks of blood
wherever she desired
