cat’s cradle with a gold chain
(so careless with such delicate things)
my scent, coiled up like a snake,
in the back of your throat.
a part of you now
is dying, without question,
without knowledge, with
out your prior fears.
remember us dancing
remember us crying
remember us naked
so much of this matters
because i want it to.
feel my cold rings on your cheek
so much of this matters
because i need it to.
