    Really creates a mood. Evocative.

    When I first read this (and saw the photo) I immediately thought of my gritty upbringing but then I read it again and see it could be a gritty couple in love and bringing down the house! There’s a lot here in those few words.

    Love gets that way–unshaven–especially when you stay the night.

    What fun this poem is. All I can think of is burning down the house by talking heads….watch out! 🙂

    This is passion where we let our inner beasts decide.

    Bleak motel room scenario coupled with the choices we make. Burning the house down may have been a solution.

    Is it warm in here, or is it your poem? Quite the vignette, Marilyn!
