our eyelashes touching
so i could crawl in
to the back
in the safe
sound crack
behind your ribs.

cagy from the start of it,
i offered preemptive apologies
to our friendship
and saw in you
relentless
saviour
to my soon repented ways.

take from me, this,
i chose,
injesting your marrow
sucking at every break
i could find
swearing our veins could survive
each other.

you can live in the air pocket
i fucked in to creation
you can infect me
fearlessly
with our fail proof plan
fast tracked
to disintegration

us living
each lesson through
each other.
