you cannibal man
eat me
I am not home
even when you found me here
tossing bottles out the window
and telling you to be quiet
so as to leave the neighbors
undisturbed
they are disturbed enough already
our minds plush
flushed like my thigh resting upon you
too white
too smooth
too much of what you want
fleeing into the night
peering out from under a curtain of hair
lips soft as moths
beating against the glass
the thrum in time to the vibration
where the world started
and I ended
you make choices
I make consessions
we make decisions
and you hate yourself in the morning
full banged on with a head clouded with stars
my mouth still lingering of your taste
your scent following me like a ghost
until I wash it from my skin
and skitter down the drain
to follow drowned goldfish
through the rusty pipes to the sea
we saw the same moon
said the same name
thought the same thought
and you feared me for it
you pushed me for it
slipped your fingers inside me for it
tasted me for it
nibbled little pieces of me for it
and spat me back out
yet you still
save my velvet name
until the next time
you are drunk
and the black night tells you
I don't want to be alone
