"I pursue you with my teeth
and my simple tongue and
my fingernails, laquered
and gnashing. It's this ocean
of wine in me. It's a dream I have
of your rough, warm palms.
What I'm saying is,
when you smile, I can feel
my fingernails growing
and I imagine
they will keep growing
in the light of your smile
my whole life, and after
life. What I'm saying is,
there's a lot I should've said
a long time ago, but there's time
for all of that now."
The fire turns me inside out
and I only see you
"how could I let you go?"
