“DAHMER LOVES ONLINE DATING”

i undress
boy mannequins
in the mirror

black leather
part shadow
contorting like
a mime

it’s time now
old twinks
were disposed of
but i’m tipsy

i can’t eat
you and grandma
shivers
with her bag
of tradition

my bio reads
softness
makes me sick

you’re sorry
we’ll wake
without names

i pretend
our fathers
are dead
before kneeling

although shame
can be fun
in the right light

i scroll through
nudes searching
as if reborn
