vulnerable

 

I want to be.

Open, wide-armed, mouth parted

Self-touching.

 

Let’s drink from the same cup,

I’ll wipe the crumbs from the corner

Of your lips

 

Hold your hand while we sleep

Place my breasts on your back and

pull you closer

 

Stay here tonight,

Aren’t there only so many nights?

I’ll brew an elixir, trust me.

 

My blood is still beating all over,

I’m sipping on hot soup

in the dead of summer

 

I want to feel that heat

Let me taste it

Otherwise I won’t know it

 

When winter’s come.
