Sunbathing Animal |
One creature I return to, one habit I neglect |
I cannot slow the pace at which I yearn |
Frank and unabashed I become a frozen servant |
Smiling asking nothing in return |
Fang-tooth woman foaming at the mouth as she addressed me |
Not with moving lips, but with the rabid wild arresting |
Words not yet intended to identify emotion |
Scrawling bold and oblique in my head |
I’ve hung out at your service jobs |
I’ve watched you, waited and be ignored |
Bled into the clatter, as they sipped at what you poured |
I cling to your perimeter as you float in their margins |
Oblivious to being stung, there satellite becomes my son |
I’ve flown into that trap before |
When things have gotten dark |
In the depths of strangers glances lies the most ferocious spark |
Most freedom is deceiving |
If such a thing exists |
When I was young I knew but didn’t care |
Faces change and shape to represent the same old beast |
I want to flee but I can only stare |
It’s the sound a captive heart makes as it sizzles into vapor |
The title hum of fondness like a spike-wave oscillator |
The rabid UV grin that beckons me into approaching |
Grasping as it recedes into space |
Who greets me first when I arise |
Who breaking into my half shut eyes |
It’s in the blaze of your embrace where I feel more real and alive |
The bosom of 1000 watts into my skin into my guts |
Running circles so proud until he got caught |
In his brief emancipation he can feel what I cannot |
There’s a patch of light that hits the floor I’ll often occupy |
Stretch my arms and legs and close my eyes |
I now can hear my pulse alone, this manic pace I cannot slow |
I do not miss the child you stole |
Frying and abiding, I’m in your control |
Like a sunbathing animal |
A sunbathing animal |
A sunbathing animal |
A sunbathing animal |
A sunbathing animal |
A sunbathing animal |
A sunbathing animal |
A sun |
