new draft, a little more perfected

Everything in me is growling
Is this what your words do?

Everything is wanting taste, but taste awaits hunger.

Hunger is bitten, and bleeding, helpless.

We looked into the window-turned-mirror,

I saw you beside me: What two things ever fit together so well?

This I dream to see every ever, not just morning and not just night

and so upon your opening mouth,

I find myself daring and darkened, like evening with fire

And I lean in to hear you just a little bit more certainly.

Everything in me is humming with fireflies
Is this what your words do, and more?
