Aphrodite-girl hushes you by pressing her lips to yours
her widespread disease just-
oh god
(you blanch when she calls you "Pomegranate-girl")
"I love you", she says
the cross to her lips, between her teeth there are
.three rose painted seeds
(you take them with your lips: . )
"Forevermore. Forevermore." your heart in her hands
you pray she doesn't smash it
