Transgression
by Quinlan L GibsonI exude sin.
The look in my eye; the absinthe on my breath.
Born to corrupt and breed the very thing I cannot control.
I'm a growl in the ear
the bile in your stomach you beg to stay
yet pray to purge
for release, for relief, for penance
I am the dream you awaken from, sweating, heaving
The salvation of your starvation.
I am your gorge and your gluttony
and you return to me, undeniably.
I'm the toxicity of your tongue,
the satiation of your thoughts.
And you return to me, proudly begging
on hands and knees. 10/23/2016 Author's Note: Oh hello again :)
