Lemongrass steam in the shower Chain myself to myself Let it blurt My body is a wire I know where to push Pine scented candles black silk pillowcase I’m not trying to keep my pussy tight Studded chokers Clematis through the trellis Lilacs in the back- yard

What am I?
Bioluminescent eye
That sees by the shine
Of its own light. Lies
Blind me. I am the seventh human sense
And my stepchild,
Consequence;
Scientists can't find me.
Januswise I make us men;
Glamour
Was my image then—
Remind me:
The awful fall up off all fours
From the forest
To the hours…
Tick, Tock: Divine me.
