So Deep

Let me try to take
what is no longer there.

Let me rob from this moment
kindling, matches, and flare.

All I know is this
I am Rorschach-stained (again) by that first kiss
and the words–
“I never thought I would see you again,” followed by,
“I love you, suck my dick.”

With one more rip into
my familiar fabric
you’re the true fuckslut,
bitch.

I take in your guile
I give your venom a spit
remembering so much about you
I’ll simply omit.
