Raw meat mouth

Clowning around cause I have no depth

The mask is dark

And I secretly wept

As the night bled into the sky

And you saw my dream in your reflection

A raw day ahead of us

And you used your words that felt like fists

To tear my heart apart

Did you know that my heart was resting in your scrappy hands?

Did you know that our desert was full of stars and planets and an oasis that I could only see?

My maternal raw meat mouth growled with furious excitement

As you gripped on to me

So tight, so soft

Oh God don’t let me forget

This humanity I have been suffering through

Raw meat mouth cuts me deeply,

My slinking hay-colored beauty…

Don’t let me collapse

Without sharing my love for you
