Your fur a tawny brown sheen
|
||
|
|
seen once in a feverish dream
|
||
|
|
when into a sleeping chamber cluster I broke
|
||
|
|
and screamed until up you woke.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Lovers shouldn't be sliced into shreds,
|
||
|
|
pressed between display glass, vivisection.
|
||
|
|
Run away, love. Go feral if you must
|
||
|
|
until you're safe and the hours of dawn turn to dust.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
I'll bandage the tip of your nose as the birds make a stink
|
||
|
|
in the trees. I'll dye one of my father's dogs pink,
|
||
|
|
line them and you up in a row, break out the defluffing brush,
|
||
|
|
make neapolitan ice cream of shedded fur for their nests.
