Metamorphosis
Away from you I am a porcupineguarding your warmth from the thieving air
withdrawing my quills only when in the sun
Your signature kiss is half of a species
trying to make a whole
Half of you dividing a whole of me
From your black windows
I am the village
my roads take you
to a city of desire
From my mist-lipped glass
, you are the truck
brightly coloured with animal motifs
taking me away from the gray suits
into the golden hay
We
crash, the glass resists
. We break it and call it love making
The shards embedded in my skin
are narcissist singers
"Sin against living,
sand the sojourn through the human shell"
Bloody lips cling to asphyxia. We are the sphinx couple
The desert landscapes on, over us, in us and despite us
