i’m just like my father
attraction
compels &
rip s me a
part
destroyed by
what made me
into him
you call me a
self fulfilling prophecy
i read your cards
after telling you to close
your eyes: shy divination
trembles and wrestles itself
into the dirt as
i collect each one
my intuition or
my ego (maybe both)
rush beneath stretched skin,
an ache that unfurls into
the division between each
of my fingers, breathing with
the tension of a starved mutt:
i whine
at the bottom of
your front door
step:
i mirror you do
not let me
in
