i.
cut your teeth on me

learn the taste
of love with fangs
in crumbling relief

let me tell you
that your grief
has purpose

that your voids
are meaningful
and your pressures
precious


ii.
vocal cradle
in the evergloom

darling you've been blooming
since before
i turned the sun on you

wanderlust and living rooms
with fully formed
nervous systems
snaking

you're a starling
in the maw
of bastard aching

impressions in the cushions
show the tumors
have been left
to their devices


iii.
darting irises
betray the crocus kiss
of early morning

obscure stamen
in the diastema

petals cupping
cuspids

oh, the practiced spin
of pistils
unholstered


iv.
teethe my vocal cues
and perforate
my intricate loom

i will act
as though you never
left the room
when in truth
you never entered at all
