I exist
with the skin of a wolf
that weaves waves
of intoxicating scents
around my nest
warm against my chest
as I write
write and write
with flames as light

I exist
like a wolf
haunted and delirious
torn by barbed wire
the small death, the furious fire

I exist
to fate
sometimes wish I could bend
my love back to hate

I exist
thought I let go
but creatures of the deep
always show
how to exist
without

I exist
to be
to realize
you will always be with me

I exist
you exist
please stay
in the world to manifest your soul
in this superethereal red velvet (w)hole
so I will not be alone in a silent space
with the beauty, the wonders
the homeless ghosts
that you force me
to embrace
please
stay

I exist
in a dream
with no dream
that limits
my reach
can you do the same?
