The old man grabbed at the contours of her body.
He couldn't believe how gorgeously young she felt in
his leather hands.

or chop her up and inhale her
into his tobaccoed lungs, crying for oxygen.
He craved an addiction to her.
He wanted her in all the shakes and tremors it would
take to loosen his grip on her sweet, sweet flesh.
