Hyperloop

Raido and Algiz
inverted both mean
nearly the same exact damn thing.
But one is push
while the other is pull:
extension cord plugged into itself,
forever either half-full,
infinite feedback on null.
Straddled over your comatose body,
chaotic blood draining energy
and then pushing it back into your veins
to keep your rivers flowing.
That's how our relationship always
plays
out, freeing each other from Golden Cages
and recovering our powers of flight
and saving each other
from whatever
problems turn themselves to plights.
One pushes while the other pulls,
retrieving water from a well deep but full.
You taught me, when in leg cramp,
to grab
my ankle and pull it to my crotch.
The pain
would go away,
but the thick
stiff
lump would stay
until I managed to walk it off.
I've got a theory
that's nearly
the same,
but I had to wait
until the full moon came.
If I cycle your energy through all your cells
and slowly siphon off the excess,
you won't go feral
and you'll wake up without destruction's distress.
The woman with the carmine eyes
awakens with whole body relaxed,
looks up at her lover, the parasite,
and whispers, "I think the worst is past.
I'm so damn grateful you're in my life."
