our tree of knowledge

by Shonda Chrissonberry

i want to get under your skin
like the annoying coworker
in the next cubicle
click
click
clicking the pen

run my fingers down your chalkboard
watching you shiver
with delight

my tongue
in your mouth

my words
in your ear

my pink spot
next to your blue

we fit
pure
complete
perfection

and the thought of us
makes your skin crawl

i am your lilith
you are my Messiah

in hate
there is love
unfulfilled
