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
