DECOMPOSING FEM




It had something to with loss
Something to do about lust
The lexicon of lust
No trust
No crust
Crumbs
It had something to do with love
It had nothing to do with love
It had something to do with nothing about love about lust
Fuck
I needed to be
Fucked
It had something to do with needing to be fucked
It had nothing to do with needing to fuck
It had everything to do with needing to fuck needing to be fucked
Could I see you?
Could I hold you?
Could I touch your lips with my
I ran my finger
My tongue along
The way your hair curled
The way your waist folded
Did this unfold
Did this enfold
Did I hold me
Did I breath me
Did I need me
Did I see me
Did I fly
I tried to hold my dick
It didn’t want a lick
I held a space for you
It had something to do with loss
It had something to do with breaking up
It was something about breaking up with the old me
The me I was
The me I always was
The me I’ll never be
The me I chose to see
To not see
And breathe
And sleep
And secrete
And believe in
I needed to believe in me
I needed to not betray me
I needed to hold space for not betraying me
It was something about not betraying the dream
Our dream
We were building something
Building ourselves
Heel by heel
Platform on carpet on concrete
I held space for them
For him
For her
I love her
I loved her
I love them
I did then
I live them
I was then
Holding space for where
Where you and me can be free
Can fly
It was something about a trophy
Trophy wife
Trophy life
Trophy cunt
Trophy bundt cake
Trophy ass shake
My ass still doesn’t shake
It doesn’t move
Twerking
Twerk
Torque
My lower back
My lovers back
My ass crack
I held it open
For you
It was something about a trophy
An idol
A price
A monument
Erected this monument
Cascading gold
Golden angel
Fallen Angel
Risen
Rising
Summer sun
It had something to do with the rising summer sun
Golden hour
The beads of sweat fell down your chest
Over your inflating breasts
The drops fell from your armpit
I saw them hit the floor
You were in pain
I was in pain
