my horrible eyes
…and the words tumbled from the tip of your tongue off red plump lips
but nobody heard because the room went deaf with the sway of your hips
see, synecdoche turns my libido’s key and guides my voracious gaze
my eyes deconstruct your body, pick it apart in masculine ways
your lips your hips your tits your ass your legs — you are never whole —
I divide and conquer your body and ignore your soul.
the violence of all humanity is contained in my gaze as it swallows you.
