I reach down and play with the creature at my feet
It’s silent wet tongue, leaves blood on my hand
that is what it looks like to want
a deformity, an ill limbless animal
I know nothing about you other than what you tell me
what my sisters and I wonder about you
curious like phillosiphers, sung like song
and when I’m reminded of how little one can truly share with another
I wish to become you
Just for a minute, to inhabit your memories, your own desires
to have them fill and replace mine
flesh is the boundary and the bridge
you held me once, my body contorted, but i’de never been so safe
for a moment, in my mind, we were one
and in that moment, the creature grew limbs
