I haven't had sex for a month
part out of reason, partly choice
Is this line really necessary? You could segway into L3 by removing 'to' using 'seeing how life'. to see how life unravels
without the prospect of f*cking
my fears away
had a nightmare last week
'I' would be nice at the beginning.that a woman in my past
'That a woman I screwed after a bottle of red' would help the clunkiness here. You don't have to say from your past because past tense verbs are in play. I screwed after a bottle of red
pierced my pussy with a needle,
stitched it closed with purple silks
Add an 'and' before stitched, maybe. while my exes read me poetry
I think 'while my exes read me poetry' is a wonderfully disconcerting image, but it's kind of stunted after the one night stand. Maybe just remove 'my'. in foreign accents, soaking
the floor on which I lay
with all the wisdom
of their whispers, spliced
Is 'spliced' necessary? and I miss the shiver
of quivering lips that stutter
their submission to the point
of no return, over and over
until they bleed out
The final three strophes are f*cking delicious. Beautifully emotionally brutal ending. their narcissistic frustrations
that skin is white and not red,
that bruises are more eager than ego
in the quiet of rooms where echoes
whip the walls
and though I crave the intimacy
of nothing, amplified to something
I am reminded that I f*ck
like I kill, and I kill
to survive.
