sleep paralysis III (01/03/2023)

if I stare at the roof long enough
would i let it's ink
roll down over me ? 

my shape, pliant and waiting and 
rutting
tilting toward the certainty 
the cooing touch and strain
spreading stygian weight 
pressing down, down, and do...wn

coy and waiting with glistening teeth
brushing, roiling voice 
weight like a purring cinderblock

and encouraging rhymes,

to ease you through

your challenging times.

 

May the emotions that fl...

'til all my breath is you

How have you inked

plunged deeper than

anyone ever did go
