my mouth is a beggar tonight

desperate and whorish

eager for anything resembling

strength

give me your violence

make me feel soft again

I will be anything you want

I will crawl 

pant

sweat

it's been years of dissatisfaction

place your hands on me

and watch my skin yield

I just want a man inside me

validating my existence

show me that I'm still a woman

take me apart

devour me

make me feel weak
