Treadmill (for you)

I didn’t think of you when I wrote this, but it’s got your musk, your scent devoted to it. The kind that makes some flash points of synapse your image in my flesh, my mind, that thing we can’t grasp like shaking our own hands.  You’ve got enough colour to finger paint your breaths in counter shades and micron lengths but complement each gasp

And you,

are a cold mountain breeze, you’re the A.C. in early spring on my wet back after bad dreams. You shook me up, running tread-eyes and milling my side eyes for quips. Now my bloated bodies beat, hard, bruised, hemorrhaging. All puse and olfactory felonies . Small vains off-world-blue and arteries rising to the crust, quaking my basalt surface; building gullies where fat stretches

And me,

I want your warmth, I want the radiator burns on my cheeks from your canvas frame shoulders. And I’m not water bound but ask me, I will be your loon. And I ain’t tryna simp but speak and I’ll eat myself through till my dentin grinds on bone and air hums past my wounds. I want your mark. My trace on your cloak, or never do but write it in a poem, in a song, in a joke cause,

We are ideas, bit map stacks on harddrives, and you may never know that this

is from me. And if you never were again this message would outlive me, from my fingers tips to your eyes and somewhere in a server farm until the servers die.
