teach me how to
_______________prey.
you'll bite my heel I'll
crush
___your

the victor?
who's to know
that you are mine
______________O falling star
the moment I
let go.

left groaning

what can be said of this
charcoal night
and the stars that erase it to morning?

(left) here
where I scarcely can
breathe
for the weight of this sky on my chest.

(left) here
in the
pulse of trees, in the gasp of dawn
here with
gills who wish they were lungs
with feet who wish they could fly

(left) here
knowing I am no creator
knowing
I am left to groan

wedding song

So this is love

this charred place on my skin
this broken inhalation
________in
______and
________out
______and
________in
I didn't know you'd burn me
with your tongue
but speak and I am
scourged
touch me I'm
divided
joint and marrow

So this is love

this threaded tension
this rope-burn on my heart
you're a hopeless
(un)romantic
when you say that we're
entangled now
and you won't untie this

(k)not
in
me
