You bite into me with your pitbull teeth
and carnivorous incisors,
sinking them slow into my gentle neck,
then like waves you crash into my harbor,
crushing my lungs,
scraping up against my skin
with hands made of coral reef,
you even steal my fingertips
because I don't need the sense of touch
to feel you,
so, as saltwater, you surround me,
encasing every limb with lots of bubbles,
leaving me wondering why you smell of
small strange apples and the sound of my heart
pulsing upon the ocean floor.
I'm taking a poetry class this quarter and we were given a few lists of some random words that we had to turn into a poem. This list included: steal, crushing, strange small apples, harbor, and pitbulls. Who knew they'd turn out like this? Haha
