chronic
two ends of the same tightrope
telephone-wire iv line
folié a duex or
something like that
kiss me against my sanity
i will tell you i love you
and that my teeth ache
it’s not blood
it’s just all my organs
we are sleeping with sepsis
pick my teeth from the floor
as i tell you i don’t know
how they got there
please delude yourself
believe all the things
you do not want to
when it comes to loving me
i will let you
i’m selfish
we are the liminal space
inbetween the wounds
i do not want you to fix this
and you will not like
the taste of medicine
untie the line
let me bleed novocaine
i will hold you anyway
