The moon drips and caresses our limbs
With a fluttering of sweet nectar
Blood
Our pelvises tilted up
Towards a higher celestial
Being.

Cutting corners
Spinning webs
Diving into shallow water

Remember how I sat on your couch
And you asked me to be your girlfriend
Or rolled over and told me you loved me
Only to shout till you were blue in the face
And did everything I feared
Yet you still shamelessly reach.

The reaching is done
Its beyond over
I weave and wave
Like I'll never stop
Being me
Because I won't.

I wish deeply
For you to be punished
And I know I'll probably never get that
I suppose
But I flutter my eyes closed
And keep going, fighting
It was never for you
My fighting, my position
Attitude, strength
None of it was ever for you.

Red flags hang high in the windy city
And I remember
I remember it all
I cut all my hair off
Because it was time to be gone.
