Insatiable
Feed me your face
so I may learn how to be-
come human, to trace
the dip of your crooked nose,
memorize the cut of your jaw
taste your cheek fuzz.
Feed me your face
let me lap the salt
from your hot skin. I will
suck your marrow dry.
I will lick you clean
of thought, will pry each
morsel of meat from your bones.
Without you, I am starving.
