i want to write my flesh

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
