I placed lines of sugar water on my porch  You, the butterfly Came for a drink. For around a  year, you visited every morning And lingered inside the house for hours. It started off good– I would even call it great But one day, everything turned right-side-up And soon I’d never know what to do  Next after sex. I already memorized how you inhale from your chest. We became an eclipse that never fully lapsed. And sure enough, One day I decided to put out salt water on my porch. When you came for your routine drink I looked at you, the moth. You saw me peering from my window. You flew away And I became ok with knowing that I’d never see you, in any form, again

i.

You're the beginning of --

You're the end of --

Incognito issues;

Which box of empty tissues?

ii.

I; red ribbon wrapped around

Index finger-dream.

iii.

Siamese amputees;

Tell me your twin fantasies

And how I fall into your shortlist

iv.

Marula-drunk elephants;

I'd take the fruit too.

A two-tone step perspective

We're sepia and sanguine sandwitches.

Sandwitches | Crypticqueen

[crypticqueen]

Adornment and ornament

Of ears

Self sacrifice my vice

On a rising cancer moon

Flesh & fantasy

Ride the wave of frantically

Battery-powered will-power

Mutilation | Crypticqueen

[crypticqueen]

i.

Appropriation or appreciation

Cat suit-tight values

On a whim stallions.

ii.

Ask for permission before

You intrude on my heart

The royal we / to anarchy.

iii.

Give your valentines flowers to the hounds.

They'll eat them then

Shit on the floor.

Day 1:

Prodigal sun,

If i can change the

Currents of our lives

I'd entwine

Yours with mine.

Trade my yesterday with

Her tomorrow -

I would borrow

Your temper

For my sorrow
