||I want you to love me.

I want you to love me

on Christmas

on rainy days in March.

://

You can call me a new name.

You can meet me for the first time.

You can color my eyes

International Klein Blue.

://

You can remove your makeup.

You can grab the strap-on.

You can take me and our

secrets to the grave.

://

You can love me.

You can call my ma and dad.

You can bust my lip

like Alexis did

and we can say you did it

first.

://

You can hurt me.

You can kick our dog.

You can spit in my mouth.

You can call me hag and give

me a new nosebleed.

I just want you to participate.

://

You can be scared.

You can be surprised.

You can be body butter

You can be Bathsheba.

You can be queen and mother.

://

You can find out about

my fifteen secret lovers.

You can discover my skin,

stretched like a tarp

over Tahiti.

You can call me if you want.

://

I wish you listened

but all you do is talk.

You can do anything.

But you just talk.

But you just talk.

:/:

This is another

violent autumn.

This is another

violent turn.
