transcendent desire
Marikit Mayeno

dive into tidal waves, get lost, fear return, and lick salty crevices
moonlight from your soul makes me crazy
earth body is mossy, roots are dying, one umbilical cord at a time
hot body, too many bones. sad orb of night
dragon flies drink your water before nasa can
orbit comes to a sudden stop, waves are still
earth body gives a hot kiss in rotation
a yellow filter drapes over the night
yellow demons seep from my yellow skin
stars zip by
life isn’t supposed to be this lucid
i try to leave wearing summer clothes
rose quartz take place along my tongue
cutting into flesh of taste buds
raw sweetness disappears
chewed artichoke petals decay
chalky nails and dead purple hair rot
waiting in the hot earth
she takes my hand
