You say that I speak
better
with my skin
better with my body,
so let me wrap you in my
sinews and my bones
and speak to you with
synapses
perhaps through my embrace
you will find yourself
pulled from the extremities
of your mind
and when your heart
feels my heart
contract in it's burning,
sending you sluicing through
the openings in my ribcage,
we will both
breathe
together.
