Danez Smith, “bare”

For you I’d send my body to battle

my body, let my blood sing of tearing

itself apart, the hollowing cords

of the white knights’ intravenous joist.

love, I want & barely know how

to do much else. Don’t speak to me

about the raid you could loose on me

a clan of drunk rebel cells who thirst

to watch their home burn. love,

let me burn if it means you

& I have one night with no barrier

but skin. This is not about danger

but about faith, about being wasted

on your name. If love is a room

of broken glass, leave me to dance

until my feet are memory.

If love is a hole wide enough

to be a god’s mouth, let me plunge

into that holy dark & forget

the color of light. Love, stay

in me until our bodies forget

what divides us, until your blood

is my blood & your hands

are my hands, until our names

are the same song & our life’s work

be to lay & be, hum & die.

[figtional]

we can stick to each other.
