A highly personal thought in her head
I want to extract it with my teeth
suck the gold fibers from her brain
and fill my bones with helium
She rises to the sun
The water is pastel
white foam from her skin
All the world seems to be in her
gyrating from eons of light
eyes that glow like blue flames
I want to crack her skull
and sip the moonlight from her
bone marrow
I don’t believe in God but I prey like a wolf
Hot spit on my tongue
She licks the room with her eyes
kisses me with a smile and says
nothing
She can never know my kind
fangs of light in my mouth—
drool on the stars
She embodies the silence of tombs
delicate as snowfall, crystal prisms
a lemniscate etched in her curves
I want to break her a million times
I know I shouldn’t
leave her be
never say a thing
Sit in class and watch her beauty
flow outwards—
The world a reflection of her immensit
