Where I Bleed
I caught the Muse having an affair….
with my banished and cursed darker side
I could hear them laughing inside me,
such lovemaking I cannot abide
A tryst most unwelcome though familiar,
my dreams left abandoned of sleep
To kill off the one, I must kill off the other
—alone in the night where I bleed
(Villanova Pennsylvania: May, 2018)
