But baby I like these curlers
I throw all my legs around them and multiply
if these things aren't pretty and
bouncing around me
I feed you all the yellow I can manage
transferring chemicals from six bodies to a nucleus
you have wobbly gravity and I will fit all of me in there
chewing at the opening
I opened a face from the middle
and held it open like some scar
for sixteen hours I shaved a skull
I dressed in layers for preparation of a dive
I wanted to love you
