tell me a secret you’ve never spoken to anyone, perhaps never put into words / your studio is my furniture / coppelia, havana / cut a slit in your thigh. keep my wallet inside your leg until i request it / ex/pend it all, leaving only wreckage / you are left in a department store / really delete / almodovar’s woman / serge lutens’ woman / lacan’s woman / dior’s woman / cast a curse on NFTs / the sailor drowns the figurine / further away, hard/ened / doubt positivistically / tongue slid between foreskin and head / arch your back in order for you to be inside you / a vibrational frequency of frottage.
