Love me! Love me!
Screams the blood in
My veins as I cling to you with talons
So sharp so steely
Puncturing flesh made of soft milk.
Love me and I will bloom!
I am your flower wrapped in
Petals made of pearl, flower that sits
In earthen throne eating up
Light on the window sill so
Why! I want to know
Why! You ate me whole when
My thorns retracted like kitten claws and I slept
So naïve so trusting
In your asbestos arms.
Water me! Water me!
Scream my timid stalks as my
Blackfly ridden body begs you
Water me! and I will make your garden smell
Like June forever.
