My last day of work; she smiled at me

She makes me go on to dirty places
Her smile leaves me contagious
Open to all sorts of infectious agents
Antibiotics raging
... and unfazing.
And then the plague hits
In the shape of a sun dress
Filled out in all the right places
It's outrageous
Amazing
Maybe life-changing
Sets me on a downward spiral
Like a train derailing.
Vital signs failing
Limbs splayed and flailing
Until I find myself, kneeling and wailing
Until I find myself, kneeling and wailing
