When we make love, we let love remake us. On our bed, in others', on floors, in cornfields. They're all crucibles to us, but our favorite is: always squalor. On wandering walks at dusk, we follow roads to a grey convergence where we fuck and scratch & paint our mongrel skin. Asses & knees, tattooed: brown, gold, green. We itch as much as we smile, still undulating. When we pause, we see the millions waving, their razory arms praising a plague of stars.
