the slither of my pen —
What you knew
Let me rewind on you
All that you forgot
Let me hold
And let us dance
On the leaves of a date tree
Upon the malachite core
Slipping and sliding
Sequences of infinity
Burning the inner infirmary —
The flame and the ice
The fire and the wind
The earth and water
Each tingle in my eye
Signifying your sighs
Traveling through my thighs
Journeying through the wilder
You might be all the wiser
Genius and lioness
Alchemist and Anubis
If fire we make
Is the fire we take
Did we really choose this?
