You shapeshift <br>
as always <br>
and I try to follow <br>
mesmerized by your thousand faces <br>
Your twisted gazelle horns <br>
are a beautiful turn-on <br>
black and white variegations <br>
like striations of rock layers <br>
and you are hard too, my love <br>
brutal as religion <br>
and twice as addictive <br>
I set out to climb those shining cliffs <br>
of your mind <br>
knowing no one else <br>
will catch me if I lose my grip <br>
and I am already <br>
falling<br>
