new poem:( a work in progress

[chickwithwings]

Cruel cruel angel
my brutal
salvation

you make me so
strong with beautiful
weakness

pulsing to your
heartbeat

staring
gentle arrows
into your eyes

surrender surrender so
hard I go soft

my edges rounding
off under your gaze

eating
like a wild horse tamely
from your palm

as you dissolve
me like a popsicle
sticky cold
sugar juice
dribbling down
your jaw staining us
purple

glorious
train wreck
exquisite
torment

my spine a clay
snake you roll
between your hands

melting melting into
you

you
inject yourself
into my veins

finding at last
some stillness inside the noise
a shaky ground within the void
a haven for the shipwrecked

tender violence
peaceful war
reasonable madness
an Eden for the sinners

a marriage of breath
an exchange of breath
a conversation in breath
as our currents of air meld
and gush together
becoming
a salty sweet
wind to blow
our world off its axis
again and again

even
poor devils
need a place
to call heaven
