no prisoners

dear god spin round
 oh you have too many faces

made in the image of
 
unworthy

i fear for
both

please die my love
and keep us safe

i knew not
and did he ever
think

sometimes
the child drowns
and the witch floats
sometimes
the eyes smile
sometimes
they

fade

it is the city i fear
it is my home
it is my body i fear
it is the look in their eyes
it is the infectious
and o
abuses

of this ragged tongue
that tried to taste a life
and simply put
was unaware
he’d eaten one
