monogamy means I am a thing
an object possessed by someone else
their trophy, their conquest
their maid and chef, too

I want to be loved, not owned
held loosely and with courage
treasured, valued, and desired
instead of confined to chains

monogamy is stifling
monogamy is jealous
monogamy is cruel
monogamy is immuring

I have always been your everything
rather than comforting, it's exhausting
love is complex but not binding
and sometimes love isn't enough

fifty years down the road
will I regret the time I've spent
being inauthentic and forced
living someone else's dream?
I often feel like I don't belong in the world I'm in. I wish I could want the normative discourses of life.

you think of breath as immuring your desire
to being thrown out
to having none

"Beau Is Afraid".

Ari Aster's idiosyncratic

interpolation,

of: "Hereditary".

who spoke of its gestational

period (in an interview).

ninth to the month.

immuring a pop up watchtower.

unbricking shapely shadows,

that refuse to puzzle over

the downtime of words.

He is my heartland
My fragrant fantasy
My aesthetically pleasing king
My moonlit man that romances me
With his intellectualized thoughts

He speaks soulful diction to me
Let’s me lie on the studio couch beside him
Nuzzling like my arms against his
Lovingly touch his thick masculine beard
Slither my fingers around his divinely
Daisy colored and velvety cheeks

Drift in my man’s elegant mansion
His rare and valuable masterpiece
His green-tinted and intelligent eyes
A delineation of adoration
That gleams like an extensive scenic view

His swagger is state-of-the-art
His J’s are top of the line
I love the motion of his mouth
How he de-stresses my body
With his strong, sure hands
Sings soft songs to me
Makes my flesh frizzle
Giving me thrilling sensations
Immuring me in his masculinity
Of the greatest gratification
