meat and bones

ravenous dog digging

teeth into rapturous youth

/ she's immaculate vice

and tender candor

strip me apart in layers

devour with cautious abandon

/ dirt and meat

skin and bones

to make hell of a body

with a soft grazing hand"

-

bloody-knuckled reasons not to keep it

like a hole in the wall

a stubborn longing

/

it's sweet molasses on my fingertips

unspoken words grazing your tongue

you were a broken bone in my able body

i am a toy at the bottom of your chest

/

to thrive off of neglect

bathing in emptiness

like that pale bedroom moonlight

your breath on the back of my neck
