you sniff for the marrow
while praising my skin
as expert hands
travel each bone
making small cuts
with the edge of your voice
marking each spot
to be siphoned

you sniff for the marrow
while slipping a tube
into the vein
of my passion
drink who i am
with mechanical lips
all in attempt

to be human
