TNT: Titillation and Termination

a poem about climax

A dark blue gray background with white fractured light could be a water splash or broken glass or a type of explosion captured. It is an abstract image.

My vagina is a housing

for putty-like tissue

that when handled is safe

but when wired

is a high explosive.

Only an expert

can send me into

rapid detonation

generating

energy-laden waves

of erogenous pressure.

Careful there,

you do not want

our orgasmic cries

traveling faster than the

speed of sound creating a shockwave;

one last Big Bang

to end us all

from a “little death”

of epic proportions.

Inspiration for this poem started in a conversation at work about C-4, TNT, and explosives. The following references were also consulted:
