this would be my seventh-my lack of balance-causing such a deliberate disobediance...enthralled to back-slide by faul, exorbitant coitus-upheld by me-on my own accord

my body
is a
temple
just put your...hands
on my
belly

above that which it stands
the floor or the ground
upward from a suface
to which entity rises
raised to a red heat
transformed into tangles
suspended before a fireplace

this is forgetting:
moon-drenched ivory, and grey flesh
made hollow with lead
