Want Me

Lemons crystallized in sugar, glistening

on a blue-glazed plate. The rarest volume

bound in blood leather. A silk carpet

woven so finely you can’t push a needle through,

that from one edge is the silver of a leaf

underwater, and from the other bleu lumière,

first frost on the cornflowers. A duet for cello

and woodsmoke, violin and icicle. Tangle of

black hair steeped in sandalwood, jasmine,

bergamot and vetiver and jewelled

with pomegranate seeds. Panther’s broad tongue

soothing hunt-bruised paws. Eyelids of ribbonsnakes.

Taut skin of a lavender crème brûlée. Split

vanilla pods swollen with bourbon. A luna

moth’s wings, enormous, celadon, trembling.
