she knows just where
i keep my tears
for she’s my puppeteer
she finds out where
my heart bleeds most
and builds her fires there
she knows what words
with jagged edge
can make the sharpest wedge
between my safe place
and her chasm
and hangs me on the edge
i’m not unwise
to every smile
that paints her guile with charm
my own façade
would seem awhile
incapable of harm
but ere she bleeds
my tears like rain
or spills my blood in vain
the antidote:
to sip her dead
with venus’ champaign…
