In an abrasive swarm
You kamikaze into me, intimately
Untimely, reminding me… I’m
Small, under your gaze…
Tightly wound in your maze
Entwined twine on ankles
Dangling prey from all angles
Tangled in your scripts
Write me up, for these sins
As I score and singe
My name into your skin
Birden you,
While I give you wings
I dive, relentlessly, into you,
Utterly, unholy, exposing you…
Bleeding me out, for your craft
Carving lines in my hole-y past
Etching your name in my sacred space
Unravel me, I’m your prey,
I bleed for you in lines, and I pray
Each drops’ a confession…
Each cry, a beckoning at your shrine
And as I rise…
It’s your voice I hear
Cutting through my fear…
Burdening me, breaking me
And still, I soar beside you here
