“I'm highly contagious.
I'm a tortured soul.
I've got your spilt personality.

The queen of hearts up my sleeve.
I break them.
Hearts I mean.”

One hour on the dot.
Connect the dots.
It’s a puppy dog.

and realized how you lose things.
And I’m not talking about your keys.”

“The Male is perhaps a rough symphony. Cymbals, trumpets announcing an entrance, a presence. A back talk, eye rolled, sighing concerto that hits the highest note of retreation. But you come back for the elation, like a Beethoven, a cloud number ten. Just when you think It's finished, just when you think it’s time for bed.”
― Benny Woith, vast.

“Broken ears
barking at the door.
Fingers finding your bridges,
crossing them.
Fraying at touching lips.
Smoothing hair with kisses.
Crashing knees together
like tambourines.
Colliding bones
like bumper cars.”

“Before you entered my body clear
and removed yourself bloody.
But I can recreate new blood,
that is the beauty of the body.”
