When you meet someone you know could swallow you whole You have two options One: Jump into their mouths Make their teeth your roof and their tongue your bed Hang on their every word Roll with the waves of their words Let their hot breath shape your being Fall down their throat into their hot belly You have no home but here Outside is no place for you now Two: Run as far away as your can from the gaping cave Plug your ears against the siren call of their voice Do not let the inhale of their lungs pull you Do not be small enough that they could fit you inside Stand on your own They are no place for you

Not for consumption
When you meet someone you know could swallow you whole You have two options One: Jump into their mouths Make their teeth your roof and their tongue your bed Hang on their every word Roll with the waves of their words Let their hot breath shape your being Fall down their throat into their hot belly You have no home but here Outside is no place for you now Two: Run as far away as your can from the gaping cave Plug your ears against the siren call of their voice Do not let the inhale of their lungs pull you Do not be small enough that they could fit you inside Stand on your own They are no place for you
you are your own
