cravings
lately,
i’ve been craving things.
i never thought i would crave.
i have never smoked a cigarette,
but i crave the acrid smoke
infiltrating the membranes of my lungs.
i haven’t eaten meat in five years-
but suddenly i want nothing more
than to sink my teeth into flesh.
perhaps the most shocking,
was that i craved you.
and the feeling of your lips on mine.
i wonder if they’re chapped and dry,
from cold air and long runs like mine are,
or if they’re soft from late nights and good books.
i wonder what you taste like.
i wonder if you ever think of me this way,
notice the way my smile
never quite reaches my eyes these days.
i notice that about you.
but i also see the calluses
on the pads of your fingers.
and the furrow of your brow.
and the way your breath hitches
when you see something beautiful.
i just wish it sounded like that
when you saw me.
