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
