Will You Kiss Me After?

How sacred can you make the filth

By Iris ObscuraPublished 2 years ago • 1 min read
Art by Iris Obscura

Right after—

no napkin, no shame,

just you on my lips,

thick and still warm,

your name still coating the back of my throat

like a swallowed prayer.

-

It’s you in my lashes.

You on my tits.

You in my hair—

knotted in like confession,

your fingers left a map and your fluids signed it.

-

Will you taste it?

Taste you

off of me—

suck your own sin from the corners of my mouth,

bite it from my jaw like hunger turned inward.

-

That’s confidence.

Not gym strength—

but licking what you leave behind.

The measure of a man:

how holy he makes the filth

when it’s still dripping.

.

Filthy

About the Creator

Iris Obscura

I am many women. I am Iris.

Polite, sane, restrained? No. None of that.

Entropy at 3 am. Dead things stirring in your mind’s eye. Raking through your inner beauty to find something it hasn’t prettied up.

Maybe those.

Sometimes tender.
