The unraveling starts in bedrooms Always, first with the skin, Flesh melting away Tender molting, Each joining feels like a sacred offering Gloria Patri, et Filio… Ave Maria, gratia plena… Your fingers are so tender, my skin pliable, alive Burning. I’m keening, moving rhythmically– Placid stirrings of the sea. When you reach inside, it feels like a baptism. How do you do that? How do we do that? Burn & revive ourselves. Eis quos amo Peur perfectus fractus After we’ve exchanged ****** offerings– Fluid, teeth, & skin We collapse into soft, melted darkness. Your hands find my face, cradling my hurt. You see me with such Reverence & adoration. Am I a goddess to you? Do I terrify you? “You’re so beautiful, you know that?” Now we’re truly naked. You kiss each part of my face– Cheeks, nose, softly parted lips, eyelids. You see me beneath the sacred cloth. It’s terrifying, I want to say, yet so beautiful.

with reverence
Slowly, I passed by the treeline. The weeds growing over the path, The bricks weathered & chipped. The breeze was chap. Silently, I walked down the path. The reeds by the pond shooting up, The shoreline lapping & beckoning. The bees buzzed, the birds chirped. Compassion walked beside, Curiosity wandered nearby. The branches drooped low, The forests creaked with life. Further along, a river flowed. Delicate in its trace upon the landscape, Yet sharp as a knife. Lilypads adorn with lotus Floated idly atop the pond surface. Frog leaped, dragonfly darted by; The fish jumped up from the water And rested at my feet on the shore. "Let's help this fellow out!" "How peculiar! Out or back in?" Slowly, silently; Delicate in its trace upon the landscape. Nearby, beside; The bees buzzed, the birds chirped. Passed by the treeline; The breeze was chap, yet sharp as a knife. Down the path; The branches drooped, the forests creaked. Darted, leaped; The shoreline lapping & beckoning. Wandered, walked; The bricks weathered & chipped. Darted, leaped; Rested at my feet, the shore. Walked, wandered; Floated idly atop the pond surface. Further along, a river flowed.

Something Once That Had Gills!
Wanna be pervasive on thoughts? On carte blanche? I'll give you a perverted stream And force you to wade in it. I'll tease you with wonder, I'll keep from you the infinite. Enjoy your ******** Have another pile of manure!

What Grows? What Sows?
Fission, fusion. Derision after derision. Creation, destruction. Degredation after degredation. Combination, seperation. Decay after decay. Fusion, fission. Praise after praise. Destruction, creation. Amelioration after amelioration. Splitting, collaboration. Growth after growth. I know only That I know nothing!

Needful Things
Collaboration's implicit excitations explicate expectations Unity's myriad augurs geomancy's indications Demagoguery's ostensibly intuitive impetus coordinations Extravagantly exorbitant panaceas appreciate exaggerations Prolifically profuse profundity's autonomous gestations Empirically emulate epistemology's exogamous creations Intrigue's imperative promulgation's quantum fecundations   Fealty's ephemeral enunciation's explicit complications Hypercritically exponential prophylaxis protocol's interpretations Sacrosanct unary's preternatural predilection's extrications Eventuation's evocative illuminism avant garde's ostentations Corrupt costume counselor's indicative explications Assimilation's synthetic synthesis' ascensional implications Ominous phenomenon portrayal detinue's integrations Umbral ultraism's penumbral platitude's objectifications Futurity's spontaneous flamboyance's apotropaic expiations

Synergy
I'm here for you. What do you need? I'll let you take it. Pluck my eyes from my sockets so you can see. Slice my skin so delicately to patch the wounds you need to heal. Rip the nails from my fingers and toes to fill the cracks in your spirit to feed your will. Slice my hands to help you come back in touch with an intimate nature you didn't do much to channel and experience. Extract my legs to help you walk, and steal my lips to help you talk. Use the meat to feed your soul, my muscle fibers to pay the toll of your daily wear and tear as you use my arms to reach the heights of stars that glimmer in those endless nights. Take my bones and make thoroughly sharp, and re-use my nerves to make a harp so you can play sweet music as you defend yourself from misery and pain and bring beauty to that of which you've slain. Use me all, and leave me as dirt but there is one rule you cannot skirt. My heart, forged in steel and coated in iron please do not take that away from me. My heart isn't for free.

Take Me Apart
my conniving, cunning cat so quick to pivot on paws, but caring enough to walk the alleyways that are my head and heart. your claws cascade on my soul, and i know you love me, but you are a collective culling.. i can't bring myself to return to sender, love my ender. my alley cat, i can't help but surrender, to your every rake and take of my being. you are the poison i crave, the liquor on the top shelf. the cat that possesses the power, to bleed me raw and, steal the love i can't help.
