I see you
I can't look at you.
I unpeel my eyes
rip them from their home
and throw them into a pile
of brown, green, blue, and white balls.
Unseeing seeing devices.
My legs they run for you
they cannot run for you.
I tear them off,
lay them down among the firewood.
I'm still.
In the heat they burn and try to escape.
They are eaten by the flames.
My mouth it smiles for you.
I force it to fall from my face.
Unable to speak to you it curves and frowns.
The teeth decay
like roses plucked without water.
My hands they reach for you
so I cut them off.
They try to crawl away on their finger tips
so I bash them down
with a heavy bone.
My nose it smells your smells
your sweetness and smokeness.
I wipe it from my face and
I wash it down the drain
into the sewer
where it is eaten by rats.
My ears they hear you
speak to me,
yell for me
so I turn them into ice
and I smash them,
I crack them,
then I melt them into honey
which I feed to hungry babies.
My heart it aches for you
and longs for you
so I take it gently from its place,
I put it in your hands
and though
I beg for you
to squeeze it,
tear it,
throw it,
burn it,
freeze it.
You put it back
and kiss my chest
then kiss my face,
my arms,
my neck
and I am fixed
and so I kiss you back.
