give me hearts withstanding their beatings
give me skins growing stronger
give me wolves seeking no other company
give me bluebirds who are in love with their cages
give me the plug of the ocean
give me gods face, the only thing you know
give me a sting, a cut, a bloodstream
give me a wound that will save me the effort of healing
give me a guilt i can wash off
give me the witches inside of your hands
give me tulips, red
give me the past laid out neatly in front of me
give me a name i recognize but do not know
give me the sun, finding himself
give me the language of birds
give me unclipped wings
give me the creases of water, the grid
give me pearl, mother
give me the taste of comets
give me the sound of ants under fingers
give me the home address of the divine
give me candles
give me my own kind of light
give me a destroying angel, the taste of heaven
give me the trembling of a mouse
give me a wreck, a rescue, a salvage
give me a darkness that is not self-important
give me bones, white and blue
give me letters never written, never read
give me the body of a shadow
give me a flickering flame in my belly
give me an ancient map
give me whale song
give me somebody dead that has heard
give me a nest that is empty yet full
give me a fang of the earth
give me a blunt kitchen knife
give me the smell of your ghost
give me a locked but vacant cell
give me a feeling i can extract with a needle
give me a skull big enough for the both of us
give me yourself ablaze, a world burning
(i don't need any of this)
