Sunbathing Animal

One creature I return to

One habit I neglect

I cannot slow the pace at which I yearn

Frank and unabashed I become a frozen servant

Smiling, asking nothing in return

Fang-toothed woman foaming at the mouth as she addressed me

Not with moving lips but with the rabid wild arresting

Not yet intended to identify emotion

Scrawling bold and oblique in my head

I’ve hung out at your service jobs

I’ve watched you wait and be ignored

Blend into the background as they sipped at what you poured

I cling to your perimeter as you float in their margins

Oblivious to being stuck their satellite becomes my sun

And I’ve flown into that trap before when things have gotten dark

In the depths of strangers' glances lies the most ferocious spark

Most freedom is deceiving, if such a thing exists

When I was young I knew but didn’t care

Faces change in shape but represent the same old beast

I want to flee but I can only stare

It’s the sound a captured heart makes as it sizzles into vapor

The tidal hum of fondness like a spike wave oscillator

The rapid UV grin that beckons me into approaching

Grasping as it recedes into space

Who greets me first when I arise?

Who creeps into my half-shut eyes?

It’s in the blaze of your embrace where I feel more real and alive

The bosom of a thousand watts into my skin

Into my guts

Running circles in my plot

Howling like a tethered mutt that broke free for the first time

So proud till he got caught

In his brief emancipation he can feel what I cannot

There is a patch of light that hits the floor I’ll often occupy

Stretch my arms and legs and close my eyes

I now can hear my pulse alone

This manic pace, I cannot slow

I do not miss the child you stole

Frying and abiding, I’m in your control

Like a sunbathing animal

Like a sunbathing animal

Like a sunbathing animal

Like a sunbathing animal

Like a sunbathing animal

Like a sunbathing animal

Like a sunbathing animal

Like a sun
