Inside a tiny part of me, there are a million things that sound like, “Come get me.” Words laden full and sweating with the taste of rutting. If you are lying on your back, freshly showered, on an unmade bed you are ashamed of and you hear something that could sound like this, please pay it mind. Please let it stir the babygirl/babyboy within you that yearns for its mother to pick him up by the armpits and clasp it to her chest so that you can feel like the most important thing ever created. So you can feel like you used to. So you can feel like I always want to. Let it make a fever inside you that wants me as much as I want you and drive please drive
