The burlesque sky fades to a
Censured black at the height
Of exposure, words meaningless
On contact. Your breath is hungry,
Implicit, fireless without oxygen
You mean to devour. Your mouth falls
Over mine like a blanket. My scorched
Smile trembles. In your presence my
Lungs ache, stricken by the intensity of
Your marrow-stripping eyes. I love the
Way you diminish me, the way you reduce
Me to volcanic ash, your fingertips spark,
Incite the growl of a primordial awakening,
=
I am organic, you are spurious, a
Haunting distortion of all that is
Human or humane, you possess me,
Drink the rose from my flesh, leave
Me pale and wasted, you’re volatile
And elusive, I watch you extract
Milk from the mercy of our joined
Souls, pure and white like forgiveness
=
You slide the grievous flesh away, we’re
Deeper than pretense, deeper than a
Conscientiously arranged corporeal
Syllabary, more abstract than beauty
I like the way you suffocate me, deny,
Through excessive generosity, overrun
My neural highways with your wild lilac
Eccentricities. In your stratosphere, I am
Inching ever closer to ignition, ever closer
To those stars, those muses whose selfless
Sacrifices originate me, you connect me to
That which I would deny, to a world not
Carried on my slopping shoulders, to a world
Not bound or barred by self-hatred. Some
Days I catch myself awake, a wind-adorned
Thistle healing within and without, I touch
The world that you have laid before me naked
And imperfect, the curious evolution of my pain,
Of my seismic denial, sliding into my eager
Mouth like a communion wafer, love tastes like
Nothing, like air, like freedom, spacious, you fill me

Lots of seizures lately which means I am not writing with the use of my brain. I am just plucking debris from outer-space!
I did a reading (the vacuum cleaner sound is only my laptop struggling) I am so tired I probably sound like I am partially stoned lol
