Aries
I ask myself
what I want,
as if the veteran
doesn’t long
to return
to the battlefield
March me into the wilderness
of your body
suffocate me
with your hot breath
burn me with your heat
suppress me
with your arms of fire
run me ragged
make me climb the mountain
of your being
I long for the war
to want me back
for the fight
to burn for me
for once,
for all
I want you to conquer me,
god of war
