i want to write my flesh
and stretch the words
slowly out along the curls
of vapor escaping my lungs
i want to write my flesh
and let it seize upon my sinews
until they snap and scream
and leave my muscles sore
i want to write my flesh
on leaves of slate and crystal
with chalk of bone
ground from the beast i was
i want to write my flesh
and read yours instead
