Driving

I put on your shirt and drove into the darkness

The crisp night air coaxed your scent from the starched linen collar

And whipped it around my face with my hair.

Caressing my heated flesh with a wild, passionate memory.

Accelerate, shift gears, inhale

I put on your memory and drove faster around the turns

The throttle surged against the rhythm of my hands and feet

The same way my body responds to your touch

Rising against your hands until I out run your control

Accelerate, shift gears, inhale

Blue lights flashing in the rearview mirror

No officer, I haven’t been drinking tonight

I am under the influence of a love so powerful

That I had to go for a drive to clear my head

I put on his shirt

And nothing else.
