SPACESHARK

wanna make out      in a great white
shark screaming towards infinity and run
me over    his seven sets of teeth back
and forth just             grate my legs into
a pile of pink                       ribbons you
braid into a lasso               i told you to truss me
a 10-pound bird resting on the tip of his
tongue           the length and width of my great-
grandmother’s grave but      you wanted this
to last       you wanted to make me a choker
of a mother    of pearl       because
you are the cowboy from my dreams
