understand

I (don't) want you
all my loves in a pile
charred, caramelized

death

(don't) want you
just the experience of you
taste wash over my tongue

river

(don't) want
ashbed, littered with sweet teeth
and (you) in my arms

(love me)

I don't

fucked

I'm hopelessly evil
sweating red after a fall from grace
I fell flat on my face
I'm just good people

every day I relearn how to breathe
how to swim, how to dream
floating through this liquid
low pressure planetoid

I'm smoothing out all the waves
from inside this blind moon
painted on walls of caves
I wish my weight could push them out of the room

but the walls are bare
they were never there
and I'm lying on a stretcher
a white knight in the body of a lecher
