a tree with
forehead sweat and
angst-filled
swear words
reveling in
my weakness.
A dead person’s
sinew is screwed
into my new knee,
and, fuck if some days
I can't feel the
cadaver’s ghost
asking for it back

And the pillows stand as tombstones
He breaks
into me
like I'm
unconsecrated
ground
(oh god)
his skin
tastes like
suicide
