More in Dregs & Other Unreadables
pulling back the curtain to let sunrise in
i sketched our fragrance in black ink
on the whitest bits of your flesh
you feigned sleep,
while i marked it down
orchid, no
last month's moldy beans, perhaps
then with a warning,
"i love you,"
sung with chicadeees and poison skinned toads
the best of me
splattering nasalward
crushed lemon and bitter black pepper,
"Yes,
my love.
My darling."
you woke with a sneeze
to another bad dream.
