the dark thing that you are inside:
i love it
that it is
salt thin
blood wonderful
to press apart
as like to press apart
the darling stocks
of naked flowers
And,
it is like
it likes to be
hushed
handled
flush
within hand
to uncurl
the little strange song
of its **** throat
(and i love it
its quiet
and small intensity
burning 'gainst palm
the enormously delicate flicker
of its rough flame)
my dear
(and i love you that)
you are
(inside)
dark
horrible to touch
and painful
to release,
