I want to hold your love between large and monstrous claws
scuttle back and forth between the mountains and the sea
hold it up during thunderstorms like a lightning rod
to bring down the raging cloud demons
plunge it like bait into a broiling sea full of monsters
bring their snarling heads up to attention.
i want to tie it to the front of my bike like a talisman
clamp it to my headset and speed down hills
listen to it sing in the wind
joyful at the feeling of going quick and reckless
with questionable stopping ability.
i want to eat it raw and feel
its texture on my tongue
or cook it for days and tear it apart slowly
break it down inside of me
make intense chemical reactions
that power my metaphors for days.
it's a good thing i have two paws.
