I Broke
August 17, 2011
Unkind night
On the bathroom floor
What grace is given to me?
Get up and go
Shaking and shaking
Makes my legs awake
Can’t see a thing
Lover hides the knives
Dragged by old feet
With hung shoulders, breasts, and a
Stuck out belly
We exchange snarls and grimaces
Daggers on my fingers; removed single beauty
This room spins
Take a trip down
Flavor of sheets stinging my mouth
Lashes on my eyes, with my tongue, on your back
Lover, meet my cantagium
Color me a marauder
Who forages for death
Desires of gore tattooed in my eyes
