screaming twin bellies


i

am a wet tooth-sack
grinding

love-making, flesh-
ridden

fingernails back
ward bending

suck lungs like
panting butterflies

ballooning into
we

palms like chalices
like wine

rushing into screaming
twin bellies

arms dimpling, throat
dripping with loss

drunken, mouth
moustache-clogged

he

swallowing the crunch of bones
so flimsy.
