QUEERODACTYL

What we momentarily dubbed permission

was fiery ocean-wrapped crag, toeless oath.

This was our death dance, a slight whirlwind

that softened my tail with the VapoRub pulse,

nasty knots that wouldn’t obliviate. & I raised

my ugliness elsewhere, disciplined the vestigial

slender-headed cluck-clucks. So much of finality

galloped to lodge to our fingers that we almost

mistook second silver-blinding coda for rest stop,

unwarranted hip shake for cherubic purpura.

Our skin agonized black radiation. The first time

he clutched my tail to pasture, I lifted his meat

castle, guided his hands, scorch-steady, like tea

leaves of ash, towards that aura within me that

once flamed my dog bones to mosh. Two suns

snapped, rose to fill my nostrils. Crazy what intimacy

will forge from colonized hunger: a map forever

extinguishing, taking more than a blitzed glitch

to cover the stratosphere. I almost evolved in cinders.
