in these periods where else can we be but here?
             
             
             

             
             i'm christening my body
             unfucking each vice where i bore you
             
             
             
             

             
             
you told me that when you pry open a mouth
                it tastes as sweet as ice
                

                
and when you press the heel down a drain
                
             you dream of the spine encased in you
                you are saved from standing in a body you 
                salvage everyday
