[Oh bitterness]

Oh bitterness
you watch a horse.
and I
wouldn't be surprised

if you didn't answer
the asked question?

Molested.

A white pressed
jungle rest-bed?

[I cannot]

I cannot
make this palatable,
I'm sorry.

and I won't lie
when you're distracted with it
I'll escape
with a lock, cut from your head.

Keeping a locket
under featherbeds.

[I just want to feel your touch]

I just want to feel your touch
gently.

and hard.

and running down
your stippled skin
i am
a cautious hand.
