Sugar and chemical tang on red tongue rolling
Maraschino cherries in bleeding circles,
and her sunburned hands clutching jingling
keys to a cherry-red Mustang, brand new
from a sweetheart on Valentine's day,
parked just before a stop sign.
The devil is playing a merry trill, love
popping like empty balloons flying away
into a gray distance and the last thing you remember
is that Red Hots really are spicy, aren't they,
and if you could,
you'd trade your current pain for the burn
of too much cinnamon on your tongue all at once.

I love the imagery, its just bursting with them. I also love the enjambement, it adds to the rythm
