Periapt
April 26, 2018There you are
Perched
like a cat
readying to rock
haunch
and
launch
I am
your willful prey
Yet I am the one who catches
your gilded rough
edges
in my sight
these edges long to know my depths
your face gleams glossy
in the errant beams
of a late afternoon sun
yet the long shadows of your autumn
belies your gamin ways
How I long
to hear
the stretching crack
when
I
break
your
spine
So
supple
rendered
docile
to
my
demands
You spread before me
your
ivory
lined
with
faint
beryl
veins
urging me
to please
leave
my
mark
between
Too much
all too much
I am overcome
torn jagged
by desire and hesitation
I bury
my face
deep in you
and breathe in
all your
dank cellar corners
and
musty hope chests
I am undone
and made
whole
by
you
again
and
again
the
words
stream
down
my cheeks
in
salty
rivers
of
ink
my
tears
taste
like
paper
