I hold your breath
with cracking lips
against your ear
I emit a hiss
too soft to hear
but feel instead,
a buzz to echo
in your head.
I bite your tongue,
a careful test,
and breathe myself
against your chest
Your warmth absorbed
into my light,
that bitter, cold,
consuming plight.
Beware of whispers –
refuse to feel
when from your breath
your heart I steal.
