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…
