You fooled me when you
touched. Gentility
hid anger.
Later, marked flesh
showed me who you really are.

and I

always showing who I am
willed this test of me
be done,
be done with you,
false affection bearing

chains

that dragged wild sunrise
some place
south of
never-risen red.
You feared my passion.

now I

breathe alone in quiet joy.
I will not fail
to spill
your touch,
slow poison draining.
