my belly’s full but dispossessed
folded over into mind
I am waiting
flesh in flesh
body in body
lying, bitten to the bone

I want to rake my teeth over pink skin.
my breasts, my stomach, my thighs
a mind without a home
quiet plane neither dangerous nor known
fearful object of my desire

you move through the tortured territory of my body
breathe me alive and tell me i exist
under all this delicate skin

I’m a cannibal
living in the still, lonely place on the other side
I can eat everything but my bones
