Feral

Fetishize the tangled side

distilled from a distance

but too feral to love

Dilated to dark days

playing on anyway

run it to gravel and push

Let there be some levity

lost in the lush

a pull or crush

Of softness

or solace

rubbed to the bone

Wrapped to protect

please stay away

there’s nothing left
