Red, hot, fast
Orange, sweat, bloom
Smatter of heat across cheeks
Building of heat within arms
Wet but not cool
Red but not warm
Closer, closer, but only almost
Faster, faster, but never until
Beads, drops, effort
All supposed synonyms before my previous failures
All predisposed synonyms after disinclination
All synonyms soon after
The rush I thought I felt before
Unveils its true self after mortifying sears
Burning back skin, causing pain, showing a more certain method
Engrave it in me.
