See how when it gets / ugly between us it isn’t ugly / and you say / Take Me / I’ll be lovely for
 you / I’m sweet where it counts and I stink / in all the right places. / and I say / Darling / I’ve
 never been so hungry / as right now. / Fuck / you say / You’re gorgeous / my favorite thing /
 ever / How lucky am I / to have dug you up / out of the Jersey dirt and licked off / your dirty
 parts / and sucked you / the rest of the way clean / How lucky. / And god / how Glad I am to
 sit in your pocket all day / What a good goddamn life it is / to be licked clean every night / To
 not be / an east-Coaster / anymore. / And o, you talk about life / before me / Before: / there
 was less hair / (you say this / and pull mine.) / Before / there were fewer pretty things / you
 say, before, there were no / tummies / clits / heels / calves / and I cover my ears because
 those / are the warmest places / and to think of you / Cold / is hard. / Darling, just swear / I
 won’t have to go back / to the cold / Darling / promise you won’t / leave me dirty / again. /
 Baby / you have / my word.
