Time Bomb
I long
to slip my hands beneath your skin
Remove the sheath
And see
The seething mass Of gears and ribbons
Hidden
Underneath
to marvel at the deadly tick of time
the same inside
Besides the
mental harm and liver scars we
Pretend
to deny
To press my lips against your savage mouth
Draw in and out
Devout and shouting
as I taste the iron
And fire
You endow
To sink my canines in your meat and growl
Never release
I seek
By scent the hot and sanguine gush
As you
Spill into me
I long
For slow continuations
of the same old conversation
Until, as we pace there:
My parts rust
Worn down into
Awe and lust
