Tuberose

Come, sit next to me
lay down, breathe in
close your eyes and look at the starless sky
open your eyes and look at the end of the world
and pretend it's not there

Kiss me with your angel wing lips
touch me with your morning moss hands
hold me in a sea salt hug
put me in your bottle
your bubble
ignore the city hum
the lernaean hydra
and the barking dogs

Come
and scoop me, ice cream cone
tempt me, bite me
in black and blue love
raw, wild, rare
desperate
on the tight nylon on your legs
in your deadly roller coaster curls

Take me with you
hold my hand
hide me in your closet
plant me in your room
put me in a suitcase
throw me down a rainbow of stairs
kill me
cut me
crucify me
sirloin my heart
drown me in your thighs
make me feel alive

I'm dead walking
I eat like a dog
if I sleep my dreams runaway
I make love like a machine
and I'm alone

You're a diamond
I'm a briquette waiting to be set ablaze
You're a forest fire
I'm the infatuated matchstick
The catalyst
the laudanum, the evil side

Come,
tango my heart
bring me your truffle smile
sleep on a bench, at the park
dream in a telephone booth

Come,
look at me
walk with me
be as beautiful as you are
and smile
should we fly?

Come,
put on a bunny costume
and hop around my bed
come,
play hide and seek
hide with me under the blanket of time
chase me
swim with me in the open ocean
let me wrap you in a soap bubble
pop you in the air
touch you in shameless sarsoap
and tie you up

Come, be my pinball machine
my tears
my lies
my cotton candy
my life.
