choose the bed, the room, the scene

in which i’ll present myself to you

as a sacrifice for late-night sheets

meet me when you need me

hiding behind a face i cut off

before i go to bed praying i wake up

a different person clear skin clearing

the floors that kiss the raw skin

on my knees when i need you

requesting to knock down doors that don’t open

to protect failing silence from behind

i want you to kiss my shoulders

tell me i belong within your frame of vision

you see me standing in new york city

wrapped in a wrapper    graffiti on my chest

welcoming you home

wishing you’d leave

after a kiss

i need more

Hello! My name is X. and I'm a senior at UNC-CH majoring in Gender Studies and English. When I'm not stressed out about doing research on non-white gender performance for my thesis I like to write queer poetry. Welcome to this little sliver of my mind!
