~
I imagine you throbbing
inside of me like
a heaving serpent,
your venom
seductively lethal.
{detach}
I say your name;
scream your name;
howl your name;
let it linger on my tongue
in stale dewdrops of desire,
in bitter muscle memory
I've never managed
to drink away.
{wash my mouth out with soap}
I write about you.
haphazard,
illegible lacerations
on unsuspecting parchment.
{They ask if I am afraid
he will read this poem
"No,"
I profess--
he's never cared
for any words
but his own}
