We test tongues like batteries
The prickle of pop-rock sparks
A cosmos bursting out of a singularity
As careful as a cactus
Gripping a ballon
And morning finds us like wires
That quietly entangle in the night
Paw-paw wet,
I am pin-cushioned
As careful as a cactus
Or an entwined slinky
Someone to singe the edges of my lips
Our navels pressed together
I am tangled in you like wires in the morning
