who worships you but gods of soil, who worship all above
I am above
can you see me, stretch your neck, fold it back
my pupils the stars, my thighs an entire galaxy, my mind nebulas
what are you to me, all bold eye, big mouth
is it wide enough to fit my hips, big boy?
will the corners of your mouth not rip on the edges of my name
you going to chew all these weary bones, all this eroded flesh?
sharp enough to polish your teeth, boy
I am housed within them, eat my home
you going to swallow all the wrath, every decision in my skull
bad or good alike, it all just tastes of ‘yes’ to you
you going to eat me whole?
cut your tongue and bite your cheek?
mouthful
what are you to me, nostrils flaring, eyes too wide
eyebrows raised
you going to breathe me in, big boy?
put your nose to my power, it flowers
I will blow your lungs clean inside your chest
and sow wishes in your veins
you going to watch me, boy?
movement too square to fit your circle eyes
spook easily, deer-like
dear-like, you trying to soften me boy?
call me darling again in the night
and I’ll show you a smile that sinks cities and hands that are the waves
love is destruction, I say
you going to build it up, boy?
