Dead Pets

My dead pets are metaphors for my failed love.
I tried to look after their health but they were malnourished
or they ran away with somebody else.
I couldn't stand the smell as they rotted in their cage.
The bloated bodies I'd pet, the bones I dug up and kept.
They are all buried in the backyard of my memory.
I laid them to rest and I sang them each a tune.
Then I turned and wiped the shit from my shoes.
I shook my finger at you but you just wagged your tail.
I told you to role over because I knew that you would fail.
To all of my dead pets I'm sorry for doing what I always do.
I didn't mean to cause you harm. I only wanted to hold on
to you.

I Love You

Your brittle teeth and the gums beneath
blacken and bleed for me.
My finger tips round your body grip
and from your breath I sip
an I love you
As the circular things are infinity
so I will make my mouth a sea.
Your tongue a great ship with which
to pierce my depths. The dark and
the wet with
I love you.

My Skin, A River

You wanted my body,
I wanted your mind.
Let's split each other open
and rob the other blind.
I will be your river
full of precious stones.
Skin cascading gently
over sinew and over bone.
You, you are a ruby
in the gravel pit.
There with all the hardened,
the cruel and slow of wit.
Oh you are a ruby
this world wears you on its hand.
You adorn it as with jewelry,
yet you take me as I am.
