some people are just
bad in the blood, baby,
some people’s hearts pump
kerosene, gasoline,
thick hot tar.some people bleed tree sap,
maple syrup,
grape juice or superglue
or clean river water –some people scrape their knees
and watch champagne bubble up
through their skin.i bite my tongue –
my frostbitten tongue -
and i taste salt brine.do your veins run hot, my love?
do your bloody knuckles steam?
can you teach me how to thaw
the ice floe lodged between my ribs?
