the inside of my body scares me
it’s acidic and threatens to erupt
blood, piss and bile with a
dying urge to rust everything
within a three-mile radius
i’ve got emetophobia and
i’ve never plunged my finger inside
of my throat or my pussy
i leave that exploration for
foreign objects
and you
are about as foreign as they come
in tongue and intent
and once inside
i hope you’ll soothe the swell
and report back
all of the good news you find
