Heart, our evening will end us




Just as she holds a bite of your heart in her mouth
I too have mine trailing in shreds,
attached by a flimsy sinew to the ball of your heel.
With every step you tread me into a fine pulp
as my soul whelms whelms and wanes mortally into that empty fist-sized cavity.

 Ah, my love,
would you not care to detach the remains with your fingertips?
Render that massacred pulp ecstatic delirious at your momentary touch
Before the flick of your wrist
banishes it into infinite oblivion.
