some shit i'll never finish, because i don't write poems.

the prompt was to write about an intimidate moment with a lover, using objects and our senses to describe what it felt like. this is what came out. there is clearly something wrong with me.

this is the sound of a collarbone
being kissed with a rusty axe

a shark in a drowned nursery

three sharks cornering a swan
mouthing her wingless

the scrape of one vulture's tongue
across a quivering thigh

sweat as a line of defense
