Cyanide

Transpose your sweet cyanide 

Into my veins, alkaline

Basic monstrosity

Viscosity

Why does it feel this way? 

All the time....

Embers

I want to burn you from the inside out, 

Burn you until you tear yourself apart 

Just to know what it feels like

When you place careless embers

Inside of me.

........

We dipped our toes into summer

Grasses like your hair 

Where I twined my fingers 

Stars like eyes 

And spaces between thighs

We could watch the moon through

City lights and thoughts

Miles away

Siren songs whispered 

On smooth corn fields

Things we'd never say

I'm made up of 

Dirt road pebbles 

Trouble 

And the inevitable
