I meant to say
I felt -tight-
(3 nights)
Like arms gripping taunt, but ever
Stretching,
(Ago you)
Until their knuckles popped.
And suddenly I am
Sinewy twine, spilling in
(Told me I was)
Torrents, pleated finely.
Catching in the throats of
(Pretty. How)
Lovers' spaghetti.
They are-
Choking and sputtering.
(Could I)
I'm am stringy in their gums.
I am twine
and wallowing
(Believe you)
In kerosine, you snapped
The little matches while
Picking
Me from you're
Teeth.
