reasons
you die, reasons you live
the
sinful ones remain
shadow
velvet boxes
lined
with death
with
things jeweled
thoughts
and rings
stars
fading to black
the
reach of fingers
in
silent thirsty lips
the
taste of flesh wanting
near
an open window
rumpled
silhouettes
cities in cotton
poked
through
feet
needing shoes
this
dream goes
cobbler
blue
elves
drunk too
and
you
arching
the small
of
your back
as
I play baby crawling
into
your womb again
I
nibble your name
tracing
each letter
between
my teeth and lips
trying
hard not to give in
to
murderous lust
I
want to tear in
watch
blood flow
stain
the bed
in
petal fantasy
with
every flower
I’ve
ever imagined
worn
as a last smile
a
seed grown
an
instant
a
coalesce
a
vapor
a
congeal
only
the cart peddlers
will
ever know
it
was you, once
and
they will know
the
price I paid
to
the ceilings
and
skies
with
skin and bone
so
tell me
quivering
between
passion
and fear
why
should I not
take
your life
to
drink you down
and
roar past
mechanical
psychologies
the
animal inside
free
to leap
through
the open window
wearing
the wind
and
the sweet
permanent
scent
of
your soul
blooming
where
my
memory
used
to be
