Manhattan Affection
 
Looking past your iris, dilating and refracting, like a split atom, boiling hotter than the sun.
    Your kiss, an explosion of energy; the power of a single molecule.
                                 Your touch sends shockwaves from the epicenter in my chest.
Magnitude measured by atomic force.
The fallout would leak acid from my eyes,
Lesions left on my skin,
Blistered radiation of what
 could have been.
 
Mutated by a single split atom.
