I bit into your halogenic skin
deeper than any mouth
that came before, or after.
I struck bone and went deeper then desire,
deeper then any name we have for sin,
you told me,
with a voice full of imploding stars,
"blood is the precursor to death,
but blood dries, baby"
my hands began to sew together
the denouement,
my fingers tripping over every voice
that said they loved
the evocative beating of my heart.
