cut myself on your sink, bright red lip on repeat, drip soft. we sync and sway, un- steady; ragged and precious, breath dragged up from lakebeds. lavish, this failure. how magic is dovetailing perfectly with glittering lacerations. if sunlight were damage, we’d bleed.
left. brittle sticks of incense under lock and key. savoring what little dawn was vaulting. dangerously copying the glide and sweeping step, first right then stumbling. outside it is thundering lunacy, inside we are dangerously copying the fire and seething pessimism. i stayed, you slept like the desert. kisses that shift and wear down, we compose with what’s uttered. you first, i’ll follow like death. one impact, crisp shatters in the ribcage dangerously copying the damage we’ve sworn to protect.
come now, all cryptic woes are god-breathed and useful. dream a little bit of blood on the carpet, wish a fissure ‘neath the armpit, kiss and taste the lip’s protest. dive, for terrors aren’t given they are earned. they are chosen by scar and by emptied caverns once named “whole” and by god, all poses of suffering are worship. deem a little bit of ruin blessing, call them back confessing, yell and scratch your skin; grin like hell, for it was your decision.
breath of god esteems this wiry wreckage, he impressed upon a mattress without effort. a master without pressure on the outcomes; what futility is summing on the heavens? counter posturing and healing, cowering as lost as paradise. she sounds and rebounds. the cove won’t echo without cursing.

missed you. we met, dry as your mouth, gauze gazes and bloodless, broad gestures and closed doors. when a want is measured in small breaths and broken bones, quite a fire follows. missed you when i worked my way up, turned the heat up, turned your eyes; when i whimper i know you and i can do this. for a time missed your delight in me, drew my strength from your hands, silk on a damned exit wound. when i wander out, you can't stand. for all we planned and destroyed, these ashes overflow. could have kept quiet, could have lived, but would have

leaden, all souls sift proper through parable teeth; i asked you to leave your key. you’re keeping the loved letters, ink down the cheek chafing, cut through the lesser, the left. reap so sweetly now, elbow jabbed in the maw of a greed we discovered; i begged it on knees to recede. it seems we’re eschewed as can be.
span of an evening, hour after our de- miserly flaws flailed, towering, towering, to- morrow we may ash; if asked we lapse, if aspiration could borrow from the past, perhaps. yet,
