Word Vomit Free Write Treasure Hunt: recent

Love is this how you entangle yourself in the threadbare patches of carpets
Of bald strings
Of fish gills and silver wire caught up in the inhale intake
Unravel your sandpaper signs
Down jack knife corridors I sling echoes
Lilting off stairwells and combed through wallpaper fibers
Oh darling curl me up like corners
Red fibrous sponge of heat is raw
And throbbing like tin foil
Blades I dive at you and never break
The surface I wish I were lily pads
Or stepping stones
The pads of your feet are more alluring than
Sandwiches
Jelly fish
Flamingo father my spider veins spell out your name
And my skin crawls for you darling
Darling I crawl toward you
Thumbs jammed deep into pockets
Please leave
My pages closed my mouth sealed
Hermetically as coffins ragweed sorrel mare
Hiatus
You are lovely as calla lilies bent
At the stem and dream of cracking ice and skates
And you. Diving in sweetheart
Companion anonymous valentine stop
Me. My candle wick heat is scratching for matches
So soothe me.
Hold me.
Alabaster glass and dazzling.
My secret.
My shark.
