I dreamt of you, again. It’s been years, but in my sleep I
recalled every feature of your fine pale face, and the guttural tone
of your voice. I could smell you;
I held my breath against the scent of menthol ciggies and
gin and tonic sticking to your saliva.
I spent the night with your phantom
banging around inside my head. Now that I’m awake, I
convince myself all over that I hate your pretty fucking being,
because you’re interesting to look at, vivid red like a piece of exotic fruit.
I want to split you open and see your insides, have a taste of your heart. I
want to do this even knowing the stingy itch of your spines.

In the night they come
Unfinished lovers
Not fully revealed
Still holding secrets
All the knowing why
Estrangement had to be
Deters the givers of dreams
Not one whit
