closer than possible
i want to burrow under your skin
get stuck between the spaces
where cartilage meets bone
make a home in every cavity
let me navigate the hallways
inside of your brain. you'll get lost
with all the lights turned off
and the furniture needs a rearrange
when the quickening of your chest
feels like your heart escaping its ribcage
don't unclog your arteries, it's just me
squirming about in your veins
if i sit in the pit of your stomach,
will you let me stay? i'll eat my way out
when your blood is done pumping
just to be with you again
