i want this flower to bloom. i want the bees to **** the nectar out of me like, a good morning kiss, wet and addictive. i want your fingers vined around my throat, as I puff syllables of smoke out. i want the hummingbirds to caress my ears in lullabies. i want my stem to arch on the flower bed. i want your hazel eyes to dazzle in mine. i want the stars to constellate us under the moon. i want to find you in these sheets of darkness. i want to collapse on you like a sunset, slowly and then all at once. i want to end with the scream of a mandrake root.
