I’m so hot

Like an aughts Paris Hilton

Like Mugatu at a fashion show

So hot right now

***

So unbelievably hot

***

The air kisses my naked shoulder

Leaving my skin

Steaming

Smoldering

Scorching

Too hot to handle

***

I need more air on my skin

A gentle breeze’s caress

I want goosebumps

I want to take it all off

Every piece of cloth

Every stitch

***

I am on fire

I am the fire

I am consumed

***

By this perimenopausal hot flash
