[IMAGE TEXT: the skin flat & useless, your teeth like seam rippers / dragging a line from the body to the river
with my tongue in the water i can taste all of you
insects in your organs, crane flies & lacewings, /the sting at the base of my skull where you kiss me
you slip inside me and the poetry ceases- / skin slides off, mulm inside my jaw cracks open / and drifts with the current. oxygen, detritus, / diving beetles glittering with sun, your mouth]
