People Say We Kiss Like Bonnie and Clyde

Urgent and violent
like red lights and sirens
with a hesitation
sickly reminiscent of mortality
because-

we know

this is our      last-chance-to-do-something-
beautiful,

before the bullets bring us down
and the dust settles-

before you
hand me that shotgun
to light your cigarette-
to burn this place
to the ground.
