Emma Neale

Wine Dynasty; Metal Embers; Black Widow

When my sister eats a sandwich
she leaves
small kisses at the edge
of the bread
she sucks them
onto the tips of her fingers

after lunch love is
everywhere
like pawmarks

it tints the crumpled napkins
in tiny
bleeding sunsets

it half moons
the cup rims
in a detached
coffee flavoured
smile

I imagine
in her bedroom,
he is Fire Engine Red
at the earlobes, chest and neck,
composure scattered
with the quick
petal storm
of her mouth
