Dating Takes Courage
hunger
the etymology of silhouette is abundance + hole, most likely
referencing a cave, meaning you can’t have a shadow
without at least a subtle flame caught in your throat
meaning that if ships are vessels
and houses are vessels
so am I,
more than once I wake up
and know, before I look, the dust storm has gone and ate
all the color off the cloth
and mama, I am never not hungry,
and there is not world in which full and satiated are the same thing.
Meaning there is always an abundance of holes in me,
at the alter’s mouth I press my palms
together to keep the most water from leaving me
but it always slips through
like fog, like apologies I do not mean
I do not
have blueprints for
whatever it is I am supposed
to fold into
today, I cupped the sweat that pooled
down into the small of
your back,
put it in my mouth,
ate a lit match.
