a lottery where intimacy is the jackpot

i’ve decided to gamble my art.

a poem written just for you

after i undress your soul.

 

here’s how it works:

one dollar = one entry.

one entry = one chance.

one-thousand entries = one-thousand ways

to seduce fate into bending in your favor.

 

the prize? a poem so intimate
it feels like it was stolen

from your bloodstream.

 

on the next full moon,

i’ll place the crown

on one muse.

 

you’ve read my poems.

this is your chance to become one.

 

ready to raffle with immortality?

put your name in the fire.
see if it comes back lit.
