she is the praying mantis to my praying hands
her nails dig underneath my ribcage
she eats the parts that pray
i keep a record of my suffering
dreaming of an asteroid
a terrible heaven moves in the way she walks
stars burn through me like white phosphorus
her mark stays longer than bone
the idea always comes back to me
i belong to her completely
forever hers
