Transference Poem by Samantha Campbell

So it's in ink
and it's in bones

Breathing galaxy
words unspoken

Must find cosmic
poetic tones

As within and all around

Harmonizing earthly bones

Physical things
the poetry
that makes up
everything

Remove
remove
remove …
my waking
thoughts
from this
unwanted poets
Transference

Beautiful ash
supernova romance
with tongue and fingers
soaked in ink

On tender
touches feed
sensual scriptures
thoughts that come across
as I patch alphabets
along the ripples of my skin
igniting every sensory
receptor within

CAUSE I

I long
to taste
that wild
untamed
energy
beneath
your
cranium

Names come and go
but the race
of these
paper hearts
wont easily be
forgotten
