real live jellyfish

electricity flows through our veins like lightning- 

our skin conducting;

touching sparks,

glowing

my mouth marks mercury trails across your neck,

ragged breath like fuel

in a dynamo

excess energy 

catching fire 

hands linger lighting up skin of stardust-

limbs tangled, 

pressed together, 

burn from contact-

aching, vibrating 

I bite my lip and taste your blood
