his eyes pin cushion the nod
I place blankets of sigh and crawl into his side
curled my body in spoon
he feels the fake steel of my handle
no comfort in the spoon of love
I am stabbed by the motionless numb
of his body
I slide back like emptiness
into the night
Come morn
as the sun chisels light
through the pane
its touches of warmth
to forehead
like a mothers palm
scorching skin
in sweats of cold shiver
he writhes like snake shedding skin
his rise a scream
that wakes the dawn
Here the tortures of the day begin
hanging skin beneath his crow picked eyes
as the dragon
spreads its wings
ripping his skin apart
ribs break in crackle
like plastic bubble
his gut splits
like the roots of trees
being torn from the earth
left hanging from the dragons nails
he retched into his coffin body
this is my lover he cries dead of eyes
breathes deep the toxic breath
of the dragon
and like tiny vampire bites of blood
drips
from my mind
in beatings of helplessness and love
my heart is swallowed
in one last hit
as I watch in horror
the black and blue
if only my eyes
for his body slumps
like a rag doll
he lays numb
dead
in a spoon
of dirty hits
and lies
RIP
In my spoon of fetal curl
I still hold the memory of you
in my sleep
before the dragon came
(in memory of you)
