Kleptomaniac
I have run out of electricity.
I would have eaten the sun
Had I known the lights behind my eyes
Would refuse to light up
When I welcomed you
Ever since you visited
Like a kleptomaniac
I have forgotten how to welcome another
To a house that can never belong to him
You dove into my body with mouthfuls.
I would have drank the ocean
Had I known I was not a tsunami enough
For a thirsty man
When I welcomed you
Ever since you visited
Like a kleptomaniac
My body has come to understand
Why it is that airports have a baggage allowance
