Wants

Place it on the plate
carved in my palm,
place your love and fill it in,
change the manner of thought.
Rain down,
rain the pieces of the dreams
thoroughly collected all of these years,
the pieces of shattered vision.
The night that swallowed the sun
and kicked the moon out.
Hide it in my hair,
hide the darkness that blinds you.
Dance in oblivion,
dance on the waves,
break down your body,
let the music be an escape.
Pour the water,
pour the hot boiling liquid on my skin,
cover me with blisters,
make me ugly,
and love me.
Lay me over
with your
restrained
and odd
love.
