Within each and every breath
wisps of it all drench alleles
swiftly, surgically.
Every photon, widening iris
consuming every angle
insatiable and unrepentant
Not anything but desire
coating a soul in what
a matte finish?
Fingertips around a waist,
leaning with closed eyes,
breath upon cold ears
Just another beat
another beat
another beat
Chanting so violently
it cannot be craved any more
any more than one can be loved

wisps of it all drench alleles
swiftly, surgically.
Every photon, widening iris
consuming every angle
insatiable and unrepentant
Not anything but desire
coating a soul in what
a matte finish?
Fingertips around a waist,
leaning with closed eyes,
breath upon cold ears
Just another beat
another beat
another beat
Chanting so violently
it cannot be craved any more
any more than one can be loved
