Most which will last me a lifetime, but moments I still try and piece together. My brain hurts in a straining hunger for another night of forgettable unforgetfulness. Or possibly, aches for a greasy breakfast burrito to dilute lingering toxicity that poisons my bloodstream.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The nights where tequila coated my throat with its soothing silky flame. Or twilight moments of rippled heat under my cheeks when colliding with curious hands . I still assemble the puzzle of&nbsp;minutes standing in a kitchen, clad in tarp and streamers, when I wastedly spooned heaps of cookie dough into my mouth. Perhaps the brief seconds, entangled in the arms of a stranger. Together, unintentionally, tackling a trash can spilling its contents onto the floor, alongside our drowned out laughter.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Evening hours that were kept warm by a liquor dressing my nerves more than my clothes had. I still feel the heated breaths along my neck between sensual encounters, and the burns on my skin beneath a desired grip on my waist. I miss the stippling dewy sweat on my body beneath sublet covers of someone I won\u2019t see tomorrow.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When I close my eyes in recollection, I draw the stepping stones stars once painted for me atop a vacant street. My lonesome feet had bounced over each speck of midnight glitter, dragging my loose hair in its tepid breeze.The spotlight through darkness became more special than the sun &#8211; accentuating a life that was mine, and not shared beneath daylights portioned illumination. I see the flashing memories drowned in alcohol, spinning round like the stars when I had stared at them for a moment too long. My dreams trace a clouded remembrance of fire that burned in my throat and one that blazed in my veins, heightening each sense.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Oh how I dream of the intoxicated midnights under the moon, while the hearth inside me longs for that unforgettable fire once again &#8211; awaiting fluid from borrowed $10 liquor, and a flame unborn, craving a stranger\u2019s lost touch.&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Liquor soaked memories.
