I scream through my teeth With ink spilling out From all those times I Licked you while you slept Tasting your nightmares Tasting your wet dreams Tasting the tiger Sprawled across your back That always claws me When I embrace you My tongue is blackened By decomposing Biblical verses On fleshy pages On a spineless book And my tongue is raw Raw and bleeding ink From licking away At your stigmata At your malignant skin At your one tattoo Of His name, not mine

Stained
I scream through my teeth With ink spilling out From all those times I Licked you while you slept Tasting your nightmares Tasting your wet dreams Tasting the tiger Sprawled across your back That always claws me When I embrace you My tongue is blackened By decomposing Biblical verses On fleshy pages On a spineless book And my tongue is raw Raw and bleeding ink From licking away At your stigmata At your malignant skin At your one tattoo Of His name, not mine
