#66 SONG

I'll never let you reach The corner of my eyes Doubled footprints in the sludge Missing shapes in the ash and dust Clipped deep into the pink Pinched with every stuttered gasp Dead skin under your fingernails Whistled airways and prominent veins Snapping marrow and searing meat Roll your eyes back as far as you can Clenching teeth through the roof Crushed fragments down my throat Sour gaps and nervous ends Taste of metal every time I see you Arched hands with sharp knuckles Cramping into rigor mortis Turbulent until unconscious And again, every time I think of you Passive greed with no appetite Bathing in gastric acid Bounded and anchored by nausea Un-swallowing thick, mashed pulp Slicing through the walls With ringing cords, tenfold Cackling static Overpowered I see with my palms On your softest parts Feel the hot air Leave saliva marks Toothpicks in my eyelids Dental prints on your curves As I breathe your sweat I don't care if you do
