i was taught to fear
man
god
my (self)motivations
and held to the standard of
‘yea, though i walk though
the valley of the SHADOW of death
i shall fear no evil’
and so
i sometimes bow when i should
stand and yet i
believe when hope itself
begins to tremble

i like an animal
licking its wounds
hold my attachments near
their multitudinous ****
once comforting
now a spin cycle of teeth
i a lover of harsh truths
meet a killing blow and
reach beyond for
i have lain with devils
and lived to tell
the tale
i am
the owner of
my compromise
and its sole beneficiary
they say
but i know better
i am the hundredth monkey
be full
i whisper…

for a single day my heart
beat in time with yours,
its rhythm so familiar transformed
by the sweetness of your counterpoint
into a current electric
that arced between the nearness of our bodies,
delivering us unconsumed
though indelibly marked,
with the taste of salt lingering
on our tongues.
