raze what i first took
for the dust of a drupe
held between my lips
like an unlit cigarette
was snow
dry
and thin
as pale skin

spit that wouldn't stay
dribbled from a mouth

shower me
with cold kisses

hit me where it hurts
so i can build
a better fortress of bruises
to map where i've been
wounded
and left wanting

what's it to you?
who go
blather
