If you really want to break me,
Be kind to me first:
Making your voice such delicious joy
That I slow-breathe and relax.
If you really want to school me,
Come learn about me first:
Getting so close to my mind, you'll
Answer just as I start to ask.
If you really want to re-shape me,
Accept me as I am:
Lulling me into such soft self, your
Hands press directly into my raw soul.
If you really want to own me,
Keep me well first:
Adding to my days such gifts and joy,
My love for you becomes a truth I can't control.
While a basic bitch bears down
On my beaten skin—
Dragging flesh forward
Until its, or her own, demise—
An alpha bitch breathes
Into my half-full lungs,
Singing so strongly
That my mind's
Melody attunes
As its
own
Sounds
arise.
