What it feels like

 

to be bitten

by the cold

or by him 

as he is the cold

the icy onset 

of my lips

when blood 

is flowing

everywhere but

 

to be bitten

and feel pain

or is that pleasure

my skin 

can’t taste

the difference 

anymore

 

to be bitten

and consumed

in some

small part

or swallowed

to live in the 

soft folds

of intestines

 

to be alive

just this once

with you
