Did I ever tell you
the other realm where we touch
you are wordless as an animal,
meat,
pink,
red,
milk,
and I am likewise folds that take flanks,
bled scratched rump.
We echo like flesh on butcher slabs,
knifeless but stabbed of each keening intent.
Such death, yours guttural,
mine shocked squeal.
