I wish on you the knowing-knowing
that your being is tangled up in the talons of a hawk
that is already trying to flee the room.
And that your being in filled with flesh and emotions,
heart and lust, nerves and purpose, as I am.
That when he holds a sign that claims sanctuary,
make sure he is promising your own
Not the promise to the end of his hunger for touch,
for confirmation that he will not be alone indefinitely.
And when you start to allow him to take bites
of your meaty being, He is not there for your taste
just because you've fallen in love with your predator
doesn't mean you should give him your bones

that your being is tangled up in the talons of a hawk
that is already trying to flee the room.
And that your being in filled with flesh and emotions,
heart and lust, nerves and purpose, as I am.
That when he holds a sign that claims sanctuary,
make sure he is promising your own
Not the promise to the end of his hunger for touch,
for confirmation that he will not be alone indefinitely.
And when you start to allow him to take bites
of your meaty being, He is not there for your taste
just because you've fallen in love with your predator
doesn't mean you should give him your bones
