you pestle, you mortar. you soap bubble
korina,
your eyes are like fishes, squirming and gleaming
scales planted like teeth into the pomegranite
of your mouth dripping.
you flour-sack. you, dough kneading into
thighs pumping and skin ripening into sweetness
like berries in the mouth, bursting.


korina,
your tongue a claw-hammer beating like hooves
splitting against stones. you, unbridled and
swelling like a winter ocean. swaying, you
bottle-clinking insatiable, lungs chiming for air.
you slab of meat, eyelashes twitching.


korina,
you pestle, you mortar. you soap bubble
stuffed with glittering air. like a fat
ribbon you roll and shine and twine into
a round handful of rage. pillowy willow
with a century full of rings.


korina small and beautiful
swallowed by a whale.
