I’ve passed three lovers tonight
Their souls dancing like gnats
From the light in their eyes.

Their faces crisscrossed with latitudes
And longitudes
I can’t stop myself from trying
To pinpoint
Where their love intersects.

***
I collect ****** experiences
As if they are actually helping
Holding her head in place
Between my legs
And knowing that this full feeling
Is going to spill out
Just like it always does
And you’re going to look at me
And laugh
And I’ll be there laughing right back
Because it’s easier to do that.

I tend to create cravings
Tuck people into the corner of my cheek
Until I can figure out how to remove them.

You can be my bite to eat
Or maybe this time I’ll be the one consumed
Just make sure
You digest me properly.

Go ahead
Spend your time tasting me
And though my sweetness
Will never be dated enough
To expire
Know that my sugar
Would have blended perfectly
Into your cup of coffee.
