Bottom Boy Blue
Half-starved and hungry as fuck
I try my best to wait it out
There is a nut that beckons my body
Some mans pleasure in need of saving
My body has become a hero
A Jesus for the maimed and borrowed
The men they come holding heaviness
My body a sweet oasis for burdened scrotums
I carry them inside me
Mother to many distant summers
The eat don’t feed itself a cured hunger
My body whimpers underneath the field of covers
He applies sticky based water
Enters a different lover
Get used to him, by him
We become one and together
We become alone as he feeds me open
And I eat him bone by bone.
