I'm left open and sagging
Resting raw against the the thump of your clean living heart
Still reeling I can't move up or down or left or right
Stuck in a bottomless purgatory that just seems to become more grey
Each of your eyelashes etched into my palms
Every stretch of skin looped like a thread into my memory
Clogging my mind until I'm trapped in your image
I sink into the pollution of your shadow
I can't swim to cleaner tides.

Oh that sad
It dripped down me
Like cherry juice
And you licked it
Like a prized pie
At the state fair
And I'm sitting here with it
Smeared on my face
As if I ripped my teeth out
Nothing but sugar and dough
With a dollop of salt
And vanilla cream
On top.

Shy eyes slip me a note
Flash a love letter in a glance
Compelled to write back
Posting a novel in my stare
Shy eyes flicker
Burn my letters in a haze
Eyes clogged by ash
Love returned to sender

So maybe I can't make you love me
And I can't stop the stars from falling into space
But I can take the curve of your torso
Wrapped around mine
And twist it into my blood
As the hallelujah
I need to give myself
Even if your breathing is a lie
Even if you break me with deft words
So I can't make you love me
So I can't
But I'll try
But I'll try

Oh lord you know pride
Tastes like plums
Can't hardly
Stand
But
Stake your ground
You know it's gonna rot
That mouthful of
Succulence and flesh
Will disintegrate
Soften and die
Drain away until
Only the stone sits
Dry and ribbed
Smiling vainly to the sun

the Flesh door fireworked open
Splashed liquid vitality on
the Yellow hope and Creme colored dreams
marrow gave way, Slumped into the
portly Shirtwaist
of the wealth of Her father
Beautiful fool you
Spinning just like You did but a night ago
But now in a different embrace
Your lips painted Him
Like you Paint the night
Red in black
Red on White

Submerged in the empire of your tide
Trying to feel unobtrusive, let me saturate
Lips filling with the brine
You pop sweet oxygen bubbles
Chewing gum at its finest
Pulling candy from my estuary
Blue blood sweeps from between my fingertips
Floating face through
Eyes open into yours
The deepest tide-pools I've ever seen
Slipping into the tangle of
Your fingers
The swivel of refraction
Shattered warmth diffused in frosty capped overture
Oh to be a native of you
Never needing a map or a light or a guide
Swallowed without notice
Nothing but another wave the endless
March of tumbling reverb
The only reaction possible to your vocal chords
The song of the ocean
The simmer of the tide

Key figure
Lock frame
Smooth curve, lower lip aligning
Jump click nose
Glide and wrinkle
Slide those teeth into me
Mouth filling with metal
Twist off, open up
Eyes slit,
Scour deep places
Creeping into nightmares
Keying gashes through
The décolleté of my brains rational
Glean wicked wonders
Slinking out
Found what you desired
Trash the place and ghost out
Cleaning off internal graffiti
Better lock up
Next time.

In my dreams is where you dwell
Huddled in the dank corner of my coveted place
Swaddled in blue velvet
Misty grin hovering
Cheshire Cat illumination
Waiting, dusty pawn shop grit
Gathering...bunching like your favorite memory
At the back of your spine
The musty splintered closet door
Cigarette filtered light
Slops its way through
Don't hide! Don't hide
I cover your eyes
Found
You

My eyelids are bruised. Salt drips cake the worry fraugh lines
My insides in chaos. ***** tastes familiar
**** you. I'm tearing a hole in me
For you to fit in
But you keep growing
Eventually there will be nothing left.
