long days, long memories.
your face is blurry in front of my eyes,
why are you swimming?
a deep ocean, wild with emotion,
tosses you towards me;
you are struggling, you are silent.
yesterday today tomorrow,
the caffeine isn't strong enough
to cover the sting,
the sugar losing saccharine whiteness
to gain a sense of pleasure--
i will feast instead on you.
your body is an offering,
your mouth is a darkened meal.
