There was a sharp crack
in my ecstasy;
it split a weathered rock
with a shameless fire.
Then sometime later,
A carnivore left,
my splintered bones there,
in that divided space,
And then ran off uneasy
to a hidden sanctuary.
I knew I would bleed,
but there you were,
surrounding me.
With your slanting sun
shining in, and I loved you,
I loved you again and again
Bring it along
in crushing jaws
with golden clause
and breathy pause,
Such pun intended,
my carnivorous bone-bringer,
I’d welcome the pain
All over again.
