there once was a word, whispered in the dark,
that became the world.
my body shivers from its echo,
begs
to forget all language except the growl, the pounce;
to pin your wrists to mangled sheets;
to close my jaws around your throat;
to propel you upward to that final sphere
where whirling seraphim
scream unto the firmament:
holy holy holy
holy fuck don't stop don't
