ascend through sweat, amphetamine
the shame of it, the need
spilling like wildfire
through desperate teeth
dedicated to that which bleeds
soaking slowly through your sheets
i choke back against softer words
denied release from knotted fingers
left to such merciful devices
would you leave me unrecognisable?
bathed in salt water, sustained
in contortion with the blade
the strain slips against heat
a flicker that settles into indigo
begging motions to covet slowly
owing nothing but lust dependency
a negligence of reason
devoted only to urgency
