how do you draw power
from your land
when it has been taken
taken
taken
and you taken from it
displaced into violence

you took rubies dripping
from my lips
threw me out of my
infernal home
took from me the jewels
in ropes round my neck
those that dripped from my hair
and the flowers that up sprang
from my step
all for your glory

when your reflection
is empty
who do you become
in a world of ever
multiplying black-and-white
copies of people not-you
who are you
when you can't see
yourself in them

mithridatism
the act of
poisoning until
you
are no longer
vulnerable
to you
to your
heat, heart, humor
taking you
piece by piece
until I can
stomach
you
whole

expectation is
the heart render
the tipping point
of my beating center
that which he so skillfully
cut out of its home
tender fingers taking willfully
without my notice

there we stay
twisting, snapping, following
each other
round and round and round
locked
in battle unwinnable
teeth sunk into
my thigh
hands at your furred neck
grasping, growling struggle
neverending

in my dreams, I can't see your eyes. those galaxies in miniature, amber supernovae exploding in my heart. they are obscured, benighted, hidden by the gleam of your sunglasses. an edge of light cuts off them, blinding me to you. blinded to you and your intent.
in my dreams, your hands cup my jaw. you pull me to you, I settle in your lap and we curl around each other like paint is mixed. the image of us rippling, distorted, a spectral projection twisting and swirling until we are no more.
in my dreams, we are separate. independent. isolated. I think I can glimpse your eyes, then you turn and they're gone. you push me away. I push myself away. I watch your curls tumble over the edge of your sunglasses while you laugh with someone else. you're unknown to me.
in my dreams. I can't see your eyes.

you
non-
colonizer
friend, companion, self-intellectualizing
non-
colonizing
colonizer
who loves, cares, hurts
[ me ]
lays an offering
of violence
at
my
feet
non-
colonizing
colonizer
this is how you love
[ me ]

release me
strip down my skin
shed the timorous flesh
of humanity
release that
beast that lives
in the notsosecret heart
of hearts
release me
let go my womanflesh
let my teeth out
of their prison
release that
tearing ripping ancient
moon beast
of days past
she longs
to stretch her legs
test her teeth
be released

in me

already
