Raw meat mouth
Popee the Performer anime fan poem
Clowning around cause I have no depth
The mask is dark
And I secretly wept
As the night bled into the sky
And you saw my dream in your reflection
A raw day ahead of us
And you used your words that felt like fists
To tear my heart apart
Did you know that my heart was resting in your scrappy hands?
Did you know that our desert was full of stars and planets and an oasis that I could only see?
My maternal raw meat mouth growled with furious excitement
As you gripped on to me
So tight, so soft
Oh God don’t let me forget
This humanity I have been suffering through
Raw meat mouth cuts me deeply,
My slinking hay-colored beauty…
Don’t let me collapse
Without sharing my love for you

"Clowning around cause I have no depth" You began with this which immediately triggered within me one of my favorite (& wife's least favorite) responses when someone asked how the two of us got married. (No, it's not immediately obvious--or even somewhat obvious over the long term--why someone like her would ever have had anything to do with someone like me, much less say yes.) My answer to their query? "She's blind in one eye (which is true) & can't tell that I have no depth." But then you bared your soul & went deep anyway, sharing the tentative intimations & longing of your heart with us. Nicely done. May your wish be granted & your love reciprocated.
