as a corpse loves a vulture (you are the only person who has noticed i am dead) as a corpse loves a vulture (you're going to consume me and i can't let that happen) as a corpse loves a vulture (you are drawn specifically to the rotten parts of me) as a corpse loves a vulture (to be "smitten" means to be struck down)

the white lioness and the lion tamer

my great white lioness, I forbid you to cry. I tell you that myself as your beloved sunbird. I am a boy you love more than your father, and thus I love you more than my own. I shall not love you like a son but love you as my namesake did thou athena, for you are mine and I am yours, for when you have marked me as yours, I have marked you as mine.

Naudline Pierre (Haitian-American, 1989) - Mythic (2024)

on leaving

what if i love you more than anything in this lifetime? what if i love you with the passion of a thousand suns in their dying breath? what if i'd let myself ruined by an extinguished flame if your love was to gain? what if i call for you a thousand times? it doesn't mean you'll come
