I sense the metal
of you and gush

under your clamp.

A crushing dream,
blistering pulse.

Salty pressure
beating the blood

between lipped
implements.

The god-hold.
Holy seal.

A lunatic's zeal,
unseverable.

Carnivorous, you wrest
my will, pry

my glandular
affection.

I break my own
neck to see

your fatted face
erased by hunger,

obscured
by the lavender

gravity of the moon.

Both of us vanishing
in parts.

I am siphoned
by the ounce,

claimed: udder,
meat, meal.

Airlessly you lock
and pull.

Your mouth
all steel.
