IN LOVE WITH YOUR LIPS AND IN LOVE WITH YOUR BELLY’S WHITE WARMTH, 0 HUMAN – 0 ANIMAL « HEAVENLY SCREWED LITTLE GIRL… »

In love with your lips and in love with your belly’s 
white warmth, 0 human – 0 animal « heavenly 
screwed little girl – in love with your crying’s pure 
succulent salt of the heart – hot heart of the murderess  » 
heart of the victim, whispering ‘love’ and whispering 
       « please’ – 
and the minor-thief’s heart in my own hunting skin 
corresponds to your sexual lips of immaculate 
white –  
              I would run my cool tongue 
in your mouth, eat your tears, taste your difficult 
washmachine beauty!  
My city envisions your breast beneath which 
is the heart that addresses itself, 
and the answers? 
definite 
crazy – 
and love!
