	Love Poem to Erishkigal Sarah Nicholson


	eat me up when it is time		1

	take me back		2

	bite the white flesh on my inner arms and thighs tear me apart with your myriad teeth		3

	cradle me engulf me completely make me huge with you give me your thousand eyes and arms extinguish me and let me sleep beyond a thousand years dreaming the restless power of the birth of countless beings		4

	eat me up completely until i remember how i have missed you		5
