Excision

I pierce your marble flesh
A trickle of blood
Its slow oozing
Heightens our awareness
My taloned hand slides in
Gently easing under breast
Seeming to pass through your ribs
As with tender hunger
The chitinous claws caress
Slicing away the rust on your heart
As each layer is excised
Your heart beats stronger
Finally
As I withdraw my hand
Its beating resounds
Your heart yearns for more
Of my touch
And so it covers me
In your love
