| And found that he loves me .. And found that he loves me to be the bitch that licks his toes at night while he lay about sloven and sweating from the lies he cannot release shamed and coiled in his clammy pores pushing away my pushed around food cold and tasteless i am told to hush to go away and play cheeks flaming throat drying me me and the thirsty stars me and my ponytail with fraying ribbon once upon a time the sky flung a portal and i extended my neck and swallowed the view and I found that he loves me to stay inside away from the warmth of my suns to be in earshot of his beautiful sighing the moon always welcomes me with truth in my bitten palms loving me regardless of my appearance dont tell anyone that i steal away to bathe in the shade of my autumn tree my soured mouth is sick of these berries listen to the tick tock of hourglass turnings and wild-land howls echo and echo and echo shalome � 2004 |
