As he cradled her neck

Over the balcony railing

With civilisation streaming beneath her

She kept fading in and out

Was it the marijuana

Or the erotic asphyxiation

The ecstasy she achieved

Was beyond orgasmic

She felt light

Drained

Her knees buckled

He laid her on the patio

Beneath the starry lights of the skies

Above the illumination of mankind

He went between her thighs

And that's when

She lost herself

Completely.
