6:30 pm, 4/22/10, my pen's been dropped & stepped on innumerable times, my skin is prickling w/embarrassment, but I have to write

This
This is what I would do to you:

I would wrap you in myself
and devour yo
whole
piece by piece
picking your brain
pricking you skin
a hundred thousand leading questions
to convince you to let me in
all softly said
all gently asked
their whispered insinuations demanding answer

It's only everything I want

Just this
just to be the place where it's safe
to dissolve
and let go
subsumed and not lost
