Darling:

I once
was small.

I fit into the thinnest cavities &
festered

Now
I sip on vitals till
My vials are full
baby you
make Me whole

I am in love
with life
so much
I cling
all nails & teeth

I’ll sprawl my feet out
on your tables
I’ll scribble my name
on your letters

Now
I am BIG

BEATING RED

I’ll leave the light on
All night:
no sleep
while I’m busy
loving you

I’ll even
Refurbish your skin with glass, but
Careful
You’ll bruise easy

No need for windows
My dear:
I’ll see for you!

No need for clocks
My love:
I’ll count down for you!

& soon
your body
will love Me
too!

Sincerely,
C
