Kiss me softly
then
fuck me like you love me.
And even if you don’t,
soothe my ego.
I want to lose
and then find myself
again and
again and
again.
Stain my bones
then
patent my name.
Vacant canvases shape artists, too.
But I don’t just belong on top—
Put me inside your finest frame.
Hang me high,
present me to strangers
and
any lover that dare follows.
Make it known—
their essence could
get razed, too.
