Doubling down on singles and triples, Struggling; drowning on past participles, Juggling clowns while writing in riddles, A whore wanting more is hardly original.
So pay me no heed while I bleed and I splutter, Or pay me with sweetness; with penis (and rubber), We all know my weakness technique motherfucker… Lets lose ourselves in the shells of each other.
Tears fall from eyes I’ve rinsed and repeatedly cleaned as I’ve organized words that defeated and tore me asunder like peace disappeared with the heat of the summer and ice of my fears with soul crushing weight of tears from my lover:
We all know the heart is the loneliest hunter.

Jealous reminder of that man undressed.
Devouring fear that seldom ignores me,

I nearly ask him to try again but instead I give thanks while marveling that I remain both physically and spiritually intact.
