proserpine / elysium

on my chest
naked and crouching
panties on
the dresser, laced
a stranger
a catholic imagining
yeah
show me some skin, girl
show me under &
beneath
show me what's within

if only my body
knew what my
heart believed
was true

so warm, you are
delicate, bouquet
undressed
your hand on my chest
then you are blood,
a scream thick
and terrible
the release, the desire
the pain

and natures askew
all hell broke loose
so return to
your natural state
you were daughter
of the soil, now
you are also
aflame
