Don't fight
The tether of me
tight
Around your wrist
Lie down
I will tell you when to speak
You keep trying to die,
yes,
You know what you're doing
The sashay of your sadness
The seductive cuts
I'm sorry, I say,
spreading open your aversion
the blue murder of your silence
Speak into this kiss, if you can
The gag of my mouth
pressed, catches
your plaintive purple
Byzantine moans
drinks down
your resignation
My hands are weighted blankets on your body
And your body, your bell jar body
teeters at the edge of
something
Your diving bell body
Supplicate
Your play-dead body
Feral
The whites of your eyes
My fingers on the cry in your throat
That was fab!
