I’m your lifelong prisoner, my love I want to live in your dark insides surviving on the dregs in your blood
inspired by the flow of your estrogen I hear your constant heartbeat drop by drop, like melted snow from a mountain stream if I were a stubborn, million-year rock you’d bore right through me drop by drop day and night
Inside you I grope in the dark and use the wine you’ve drunk to write poems looking for you I plead like a deaf man begging for sound Let the dance of love intoxicate your body I always feel your lungs rise and fall when you smoke in an amazing rhythm you exhale my toxins I inhale fresh air to nourish my soul I’m your lifelong prisoner, my love like a baby loath to be born clinging to your warm uterus you provide all my oxygen all my serenity
A baby prisoner in the depths of your being unafraid of alcohol and nicotine the poisons of your loneliness I need your poisons need them too much
Maybe as your prisoner I’ll never see the light of day but I believe darkness is my destiny inside you all is well
The glitter of the outside world scares me exhausts me I focus on your darkness – simple and impenetrable
