squirming like the licentious ease
of my fingers in
your skull’s red roots,
the industrial murk
of your
body
like the urban sway
of bridges in the whispered air.
in their gray shadows
the jacarandas
scrape the fog
for purple arms
and keen,
keen.
"This is the way the world ends / Not with a bang but a whimper." --T.S. Eliot, "The Hollow Men."
I will cleave until the white ugly heart of your skull is barren and yet I shall love you to the uttermost days of my life.
