I eat men like Sylvia
I am too pure for you or anyone -
Inward hot desire,
Unbearable repetition
Does not my heat astound you?
I am too pure for you or anyone -
I’m stone. I’m flesh. I’m more.
Now, you are my skin
Does not my heat astound you?
I do it so it feels real
I do it until it feels right
Your brackish taste
Lingers
Wet n Wild MegaLast: Spotlight Red
That wasn’t ever yours
But you took, you took, you take.
She finally escaped you.
The man she now haunts.
I never
can escape her trinket that you leave by your sink
It stares at me while I try to brush my teeth.
You can’t get over her
and I can’t compete
Here I am—
The puzzle piece that doesn’t quite fit
in the hole she left behind.
