ever constricted,
I give you this.
pennies laughing in a rusted tin
and cigarette butts
smouldering
in a chipped white mug
stained with tea.
and I give you
the silk of my thighs
inviting your sandpaper tongue
to pull threads of my pink flesh
that will get caught in your throat
like strings of fat
from a plump steak.
I give this to you uncensored
the taste of death and yellow
a swollen cyst
buried beneath my breast.
ever frustrated,
I give you this.
fists full of cotton sheets
teeth embedded
in dry, bleeding lips
scratches down your back
like the sinews of a small rabid bird
I give your hands
tautened knuckles decorated
with splatters of scabs
like ruby islands anchored
in an ocean of elephant skin.
impassive glances
like sambuca shots
in a hazy underground jazz bar.
the cold glance of
a strange ice queen
using your cheekbone
as a crown
and your self-indulgent dreams
as the clouded gems that adorn it.
I give you nothing
but this.
ever restrained
and unsure
I give you this;
I am unavailble at the moment.
please try again later.
