Poem: A PROBABILITY MODEL FOR RARE EVENTS



A PROBABILITY MODEL 
FOR RARE EVENTS/ 
ATTEMPTED CANNIBALISM 


tasting 
the dry flake 
of deadness chafed 
from your nipple, 
your cells on my tongue 

lapping 
the sweat 
pearling your armpit 

licking 
saliva from 
your tongue 
other moistures 

eating 
particles of 
skin pared from 
your cuticles 

digesting 
you inside me 

teeth 
bruise you, 
indent patterns, 
aching 
to draw blood 

I WANT MORE…
