Sweet twat
–
Driving me insane until I don’t remember even my own name,
Until the gods cry a river on our heads
Until I’m drowning in your filthy flower pattern bed
While there is no sad chicken on the wooden table,
only the pickles on the pizza
and the hand in the pocket
and the odd man playing golf in the snow with an orange ball
that you can’t see
as you can’t see the way I’m looking at you
It’s easier to believe that nothing matters
because everything does
from licking the salt lamp to riding on your back
it’s not trust it’s foolishness
You would turn a fruit absolutely nut
despite the shape of your smile
and the sharpness of your eyes
despite the goosebumps on my forearms
and the kiss on my nose
despite the poems you recite
the spoonbait, the gangbang and the catkin
And the dogs, they make you happy the dogs
Until they bite my ankle like you did
not with your teeth but,
with your tongue
with the words coming off your mouth
Misleading me as you would do with a child
like the five one you killed for me to be trapped
Until I break the spell you’ve cast on me
