I've learned to submerge
in sparse droplets of
your scent and skin

I let them melt on my tongue
so that they may sustain
my body for months

I will bathe in this for a moment
but your fresh wet scent
will linger


and I refuse to quench this thirst

though I know I'm going to drown.
Work in progress, what do you think of it.

"I bet your lips are soft."

Mm.

And there goes everything I've ever known.

I don't like people. I like red wine & cigarettes.

I'm sorry that I'm not significant enough, I'm sorry that all I do is cause pain, I'm sorry for a lot of things, I suppose.
