Here you are uncovered
Waiting with eyes open
Empty, ready to embrace these bones,
To swallow them with your other
Mouth, the greedy one, the secret
One that seems toothless
Despite the barbs.
There I am buried
Under such shallow soil-
It consumes Him
With a grave's capacity
To fill with dirt,
Until deep, where I am lain,
You strip away the shape
Of meat, the substance.
We become grave-robbers
As we dig each other up
Each night. There is nothing smooth
In quickening this way,
By this harried descent into you-
Held closer,
Almost unified before I shatter,
Before the exorcism completes,
Before we notice
How this hole lacks a depth
For me to crawl far enough
into you.
