CAConrad

isotherm pinpoints our

mutual transudation

fondle its

leaf before

chopping

it down

quiet things

assumed broken

each of us

pocketing manna from their veins

jack on don’t jack off

what does that mean you ask

I show by example

quaking gender of

my splitting rib

you said you’re

urine was delicious

I didn’t believe you

but now I know

you were right

into mouth jam this

light

into ceiling light of

the tongue

paint me with

your semen

ovate face

releasing

ovate thoughts to

shape your attention

keeping time with

dying oceans we

snort opiates for

fitting a floor to

our step
