leathery flap of wing beats against my heart
give to me a halo of stars
circle my head in a crown of sorrow
bleed me of my soul o' harrowed one
bite, and taste bitter of me
are you able?
are you capable?
are you
worthy of want?
breathe in the fire of pained desire
lick my wounds with
your salted tongue
make me feel real while you kill my soul
