Melodic Soma

your finger transcends my melodic soma / among the unconscious hearts do we lay / your palm melts into my last rib (1 min read)

 

Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio, The Incredulity of Saint Thomas

1603

let me run my finger through your rib

until my bone crumbles underneath your breath

i’ll die before the light spills through your teeth

 

i taste it now 

 

deep in the clouds does it extend beyond

the blur of curls that pierce our eyes 

it is upon us, in the space between us

 

i feel it now 

 

your finger transcends my melodic soma 

among the unconscious hearts do we lay

your palm melts into my last rib  

 

it is time now

 

let me pull your skin off your breast

there are pieces of you under my nails 

only bones remain
