Sparrow


She takes the hunger of her *****
       to cheap bar room shadows
       the crimson burn is calling

Speaks to her in a forgotten language
       ever since three days after
       her thirteenth birthday

Awkward bony girl tasting the deep
       of yearning
       naturally lemon

When her mother finds her
       with the neighbor boy

Curious adolescent
       nothing more dangerous than a
       loaded *****
       attached to innocence

Beat on hard as the devil for a week
       by his covertly fantasizing father
       owner of days dreaming oral ***
       lips to nectar peach fuzz
       with Mayflower repercussions
       post ******* vision

She however suffers teens eternity
       with screeching soprano condemnations
       acid tongue burning
       undeniable seed to root to life

To the dark for merely knowing the truth
       of hardness inside her
       wanting it

As a sparrow wanting to fly
naturally
