his heart bled into the ground
he held me and whispered
in ****** liquor sighs
go on guapa
as long as there’s one of us
there’s both of us
and I shook like a rabbit
in twilight’s snare
and begged him
don’t go
don’t go
a chant as old
as old
as my bones
together,
once we felt the
earth move
it shook in the late spring morning
and I he warmed my feet
in the sack
when the night was a vacuum
he spilled his seed
on the ground
like some biblical
walk on
and we lived an entire
life
an entire life
in three days
three days of coughing
and struggling to stay still
in the winters dull
and stingy light
from a pale pale
pane in
Indiana
is it safe to
give my _ to you?
It’s never safe,
I roughly handed it to you
and you felt it’s
shadow every since
with your busted femur
and long trailing stain
resenting the self-made
patricide
bleeding out
on the gray beast
I’m taken
the little rabbit
with a black scar
saving myself from
the tangled
mar that you now
have fallen
If I go on
we both go on
