ANIMALIA

ANIMALIA

fever dreams

i want to get lost

in an afternoon of music with u

to eat the strange desserts 

a full moon is feverish

and i am dreaming of your

breasts

i gave up trying to marry a man

so i married the Moon

f r u i t s.

i want to go sing

lost songs with you

into the lion’s soft mouth

pluck leaves from a bush

burning

laugh into a sun,

toiling

while we

 make up worlds

i want honey and rain

i want body, the wisdom

i want the force of flesh 

i want freedom and song

i want my feathered heart

and bleating tongue

i want the dancing gait of god,

undone
