Wide Open

My mind remembers the sweetness
Liquid spreads between the teeth and I swoon at the fragrant
Body held passionate, a tribute to the night
A stranger's gates are a held opened
I have turned to darkness for so long; my face is cracked and rusty
There is no wish for another force; I stand-alone in my shadow

He stood, retreated, footsteps stained with mud
The shoes I shall dance with forever with the stars
The fruit shall never ripen as I swallow
My lover dies at long last, I feel no sorrow

My legs are tired from climbing
So bury me deeper in the mud:
I do not wish for him to see me
The earth slip and sigh, I lick its womb to coax my return

As dust, to dust, I am writhing with Fate as my Lover
My face rots and disappears as he realized that I had never lived.
