pour out from its glass, the wine
i would drink whatever flows
from your mouth, in its place
unmoving, a pebble in your throat
rush over me so blindingly
nothing much could matter anymore
elsewhere, whatever resides inside
in you is my only concern
in a fist, clench fabric unfurling
to form space for whatever can hide
everything else that is missing
from time borrowing abandoned bodies
better to remain buried, in vanity
i cannot help but repeat to you
the shapes of stolen tongues
twitching at the edge of your canines
could we unmake one another?
i wander beneath your bones
tracing out the rings of memory
suffocating from the release
for i do not wish to be free
there is a need embedded now
sweat stranding like resin
pulling me back, it’s sickening
