What Magnitude
By Jude Folly
at what magnitude of
torn limbs he pulled apart
your senses; he, a phantom
and zealous lover seamlessly
fused; the dark arts of his
palms conjuring tempests
of delight from your flesh;
the deus ex machina
of the moment, a ruptured
unit of time that halts
beating hearts; what tectonic
tilt he compels within your
your bones’ marrow—what urge
to unsheath from skin and sinew;
what bloodletting cry passes through
you—whisper of a dying star.
Breathless.
you are very kind
