to know your skin
is to know the turmoil of creation
you are the visceral
the primal roar
urging its way out
i will shape you

and ruin your salvation
you've given me a taste
so now i'll sniff out your blood
and crawl my way over
and snarl and scratch at you
and feast on your flesh

Into a soft whisper.

Backbone
I will carve your lies
Out of my spine,
Wipe it clean,
And discover the bone.
I will choke you down,
Pry open your jaw,
And pick my flesh
Out of your teeth.
You don't deserve
Any part of me

The morning after being single
I awoke to only one *******
In bed today,
And none for me
To service.

A Promise
i will love you
fiercely
till you feel me
in your bones
cushioned
in the marrow
