You stored your tears in your mouth
and you cried over my tongue
You dripped in my inside
I swallowed your bitter cum
(My body grew up on your orgasms.)
There are teeth in your eyes
Your stare peels off my dead skin
Layer after layer after layer
How long till we reach the nerve?
You reveal my death
as you look at me
Defining the numb flesh of my desire
You see,
I’ve been working on my dreams
On my ecstasy
On my visions of love
For too long
Extra hours. Night shifts.
Too fucking hard to find the strength
to shred the paycheck
and scatter it in the wind that followed you
The rain joins your tears.
You bleed instead of me.
It’s another afternoon among creams, medicines, gauze.
You scratch the dried strips of sperm off my side
Your nails dug for life
For the buried treasure chest I promised you
For the not yet born
For the genes
Betrayed and forlorn
Too bad we went to take a shower.
