A deep and sprawling swell Crept its fingers deep and well Around my stomach as it fell, And rose. Each breath a tell, She's alive. She is well. Despite a heart that ceased to beat, Molded to tawny and rusted to effete, That despite all attention and treat Leaked a pussing and steady gleat That could not help but secrete. Though I wrapped wrapped my wounds with my hair Where once hands grasped my neck, wet and bare, Cocooning deep in skin without care while I, unaware, Opened lips and gasped in ecstasy. Or despair As he shut my mouth, shut my eyes. Made me convert, communed and baptized. In making me what he wants, made me what he despised. Leaves me, but one kiss and leaves, and my heart dies. ****** from the start for what I not knew, Now I'm ****** for what I do. A knowledge i never sought to accrue, Wasted. Through. ****** by me for being ****** by you.

Shoulder Strap, Slightly Askew
And I will kiss your shoulders, When they are bare and Wanting for a kiss. I will twine myself deep into your hair And pull, Until the back of your neck prickles With delight. I will creep in a single stream of honey When you wrap in your shades and shutters And pour golden, sticky sweet Directly into your heart. I will get lost amongst some cloud or mountain (You cannot blame me, for as I do you do often, too.) And just when you have forgotten How I warm those certain spots you knew not existed As I creep through the blinds as you bathe, Illuminating where you are broken, or soft, I show myself, In all bright and shining splendour. You will forget me not. I will let you indulge in me, Take me in until you flake and rip In chunks of bitter rust. I will delight in how I eat away At what once was white and pure. Come night, I will leave to those With sharper tongues and bigger hooks, And you will be cold. You will claw at the walls on which I once shone, And with bleeding fingers Rest amongs the grasshoppers and watch, Waiting for my reflection in the new moon.
