sixteen

little fawn with two bowed knee

do not allow

the boy with crooked mouth

so near your porous flesh

 

little girl with freckled limb

there are too few fibers

on his winter pelt

to shield your ivory skin

 

little fawn

let him flush the marrow through

till he has ate

the whole of you

 

little girl

your flesh is clear

 

but he does not hate you less

 

although you've disappeared
