stay by me

Solitude is freezing
my legs
Sadness is rummaging
my entrails

stay by me
and my skin will develop a pleasure herpes
we will rove the streets
accompanied by a boasting
flag fluttering away
to the stadium

stay by me
in this two-person cave
with gas and running water

allow me
if you have time
to sink my pen (for a second)
into your semi-dried
blood

allow me
