Literature Text

I forget
but need reminding
that all you are is human
bones and sinew
so many miles of intestine
punctuated by piss and grissle

I look into your eyes
to look for the divine intelligence
that simple courage that manifests
as desire and love
I cringe when all I sense is cunning there

your words, your assurances,
forgotten so quickly
when dregs from your past return
petitioning your attention
in secret

a somber realization washes over me
to learn of meetings made in ether pathways
the inconvenience of confrontation in your voice
diminishes me.

Apologies ensue,
then the patronizing-well- honed- charm you ply.
Games I am too old to play
belie the loss I am too old to bare.

I walked into the trap of my own accord
sadly with child in tow

It is a bitter feast you have planned
And I hope you push the plate away
But I know your appetites
something in you will savor every morsel of me
and you will offer a portion also to her.
