​for Julia

she is too busy
flirting with the 
mundane to take

notice of you, 
and yet you
would have her

anyway. sweet
siren, do you
hear the honey

making a home
in your throat?
she is powerless

to resist. take
her in your arms
and teach her

of her womanhood. 
you are warm and
delicious and

whole; let her
taste what she
is made of. 

touch her gently
and remind her
that her world is 

not so small that
it cannot 
​be rocked. 

he says
he likes taking care of me. 
i have
blood red mouth, 
sun stained teeth, 
i am always hungry for
more.

​"well then. eat."
