The mind cracks in half,
Spreads thick
Like egg yolks
On granite
Viscose
Slow
Moving
Enveloping
- Bursting -
Here fears,
here doubts
And there, there the yearnings
Eyes splinter -
Flutter like butterflies
In flight,
Greet dawn
And there - hunger strikes,
The eagerness
To feast on skin,
To lap at the salty brine
Of your humanness,
A need for thighs
Gripping
At my jaw line
The moon tucks herself away
Behind light,
And sky meets day
And I, Pavlov’s dog -
Salivating
Alone in bed
