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
Crash.
Hold your tongue and save your breath,
For I know already you love me most.
As I hold your hand and we fight death,
Now is certainly no time to boast.
Jaws of life try to cut us free
The firemen look worried, even pitiful;
I've always loved you since we were three,
Now the only fire between us is literal.
My last memory of you for which my mind yearns
To forget is your scream as your flesh burns.
