I will scribble on your skin
all my feelings,
all my thoughts
***** with scratches
across words that sound wrong

You will know
all the lines that curve
into Os and Cs
into the tails of the ys and the js
and the gs
into beautiful phrases
badly written
on margins, on empty back pages
but nonetheless true

I will tell you
all the other yous I wrote about
You will know their names
Learn their stories

And I will tell you who I am
Lay myself between your sheets
I will bathe you with words
With ink
under fluorescent lights
Until we drown in each other
