the left foot,
twisted, unused,
what does it know better
than my feverish  brain?

u want eyelid gladden glided,
Pharaoh's acceptance,
scepter raised,
bid you return and enter,
left foot even

parts of you praised,
parts of you fallow lain,
parts of you fellowed pained,

scratching at the ceiling,
licking fallen pain chips
from the floor,
the left foot silent morose,
where the load lies,
it lies on me

you paint eyelids
***** green,
blush, just enough,
come hither,
even that lagging, dragging
left foot
for rent by the
thrown hour
