Barking needs

These layers of onion
Cups my moribund tears
Devour them
And let my sapient and
Convoluted vices sink in you.

Today, when you devour me
I shall sink into the bellydancer
She who drapes flag of freedom
Barking unheard wants.

They who touch also want to feel
She who feels
Touches only money
That’s the mist of seen and felt.
Like the hard vellum. Other side
Is never seen, never felt.
