letter to a narcissist
I was never a spy
in your house of love
rather here
in this room
called death
you are my martyr
I am his concubine
eros still rattles
our broken bones
entwined
dancing towards
the music of his
knuckles
in blackened blues
we mime our love
transforming
our blistering aches
yet we know not
their history
if we closed our eyes
how then can pain
ask for forgiveness
trauma hangs upon each tendril
matrixed within hate
praying mantis
I ask of you
how then can we begin
to gestate
galactic union
if we close our eyes
even further
we will never know
how to trust an eagle
how to listen
through
the antlers
of a deer
a lulling lark
sings from
my spine again
