To Love With One's Teeth

This consummation that is
denied us;
this dream that has
belied us -
we seek now to love
with our teeth.

Love not,
each other;
love not,
any further -
all we seek now is
to bleed.

To give ourselves away;
to tear them apart...
we seek not to love
and not with our heart.

The flames have been soaring;
the skies seethe -
and here we choose to love
only with our teeth.
