Auchenorrhyncha I deny your song
Rest now brother
Tsukuyomi,
Silence your children
We must sleep
We must sleep
        
              Winter: sings his song in the churchyard
The Stone Village
           Where my family sleeps
The dog barks as a chorus
             On the earthen streets
The door is untouched
                     Unlatched
                    Silent
         I excpect your fingers tonight  upon the gilded handle
                    Warm-blooded bird
                     Rest your wings  at the branch
        Sound not your warning to me  At her arrival   /    
 for my bed
                   Is no longer her bed

Lover,
The neon lights called to you
Thickening  your blood
                
                  The alcohol ravaged you
        Your hands trembled at his touch

            Crossing your legs
               At
The knee
            Soaking
               The warmth of your belly
The flame of your        hips: tightening
                  As you   lighten  your grasp on
                         Control
       The cradle of your lips- no longer subdued
                  The grace of your eyes      melting
Into the back of your
Dry throat
                                  
                             ­                You sat in the car
With the heat on full blast

Looking at the ring I bled to buy for you

          You took it off- so it wouldn't cut him as you ******

When you put it back on


It's familiar weight

         felt so right
