I Know This Feeling

2012

I know this feeling.

It is a snake.

It curls up my leg and into my vagina

further still

spits its tongue with a hiss

spreads

its venom. Kiss

me.

Kiss me kiss me kiss me.

venom. See

me.

See me see me see me.

 

I know this feeling.

It is a candy.

Bright and tasteful in cherry red

and orange too

so delightfully flavoured but

full

of sugar. Eat

me.

Eat me eat me eat me.

Sugar. Taste

me.

Taste me taste me taste me

 

I know this feeling

It is a tree.

It sheds leaves then grows another life

feeds on the water in me

steals

my air. Breathe

me.

Breathe me breathe me breathe me.

Air. Hear 

me.

Hear me hear me hear me.

 

I know this feeling.

It is a love.

It thrives on expectation, the passion of life

or the desire to 

escape

my fear. Leave

me.

Leave me leave me leave me.

Fear. Free 

me.

Free me free me free me.

 

Me.
