This is not a love song
rigaut in rubber sheets/climbing his golden rope/my mouth on him/he’s dead/after an afternoon/of stealing grapes and being refused/although it’s our clinic death/hold the rule against my breast/strangers/illustrated/we plot the entrance/of the bullet/mark it/ picturing our black/scorched vortex/and permit salty lips/to burn together/best friends/powder burns/the charcoal of our hair/shading the sheets/as feathers fall/strangers/illustrated/(don’t) illustrate it.
