here
be selfish
and
ignite my bones
on this night
under this moon
there it is to feel
to embrace
that fire that comes from you
it does not hurt
that smoke
that will not fill my lungs
but circulate
around my heart
it won’t touch it
it will just tease
it will please
walk around me slowly
notice the sphere
careful steps
around the broken glass
shhh
those are just my thought
no sounds
only flat responses
tiny specks of dust
filtered by single heartbeats
rushed
deep-set nerves
quiet, it’s alright
you can touch me
I won’t break more
I have my sharp edges
those pointy ends
that show my past
that darken my skin
and color it purple
listen
I won’t wound you
I only hurt myself
be selfish
and
ignite my bones
and I will pour honey
on my blades
and dark molasses, on your soul
sticky-sweetness
and hidden sins
on this cold night
so close
body against body
distant flames
around
that foolish hope
