1Tooth and nail,

I want you to fight me.

To hurt me with more than your words,

to take away

everything.

I don’t want to hurt

your tooth or your nail.

I love the challenge

of reaching out to you,

of connecting with you.

I love your scent

of masculine fertility,

of capability

and strength.

I love when you take me away

because

when we fight

I’m yours for the taking.
