miles of endless restlessness and hands tied together with string (like delicate handcuffs with a summer-orange scent) hiding within fields of oxeye daisies where lips hold yearning like a mosquito's bloodlust for a certain syrupy red wine that's held in containers of flesh and bone the proboscis breaks the surface like an embroidery needle and the sting is sewn to the skin like round buttons on soft cotton tops as they drink from the holy bodies sunk deep in cool soil kissed by pious rays of lucent starlight and we itch from an insect's touch and a lover's kiss
