bonesling

my dearest bones,

i will never forget this day (of your birth) when you cried for this baby duckling.

tragedy of the moor

if you were

to mindlessly

let that handkerchief

fall

onto

unforgiving cement

(the one I had

given you)

i would

kill you

(doubt's bells

ring too loud.)

i tell you!:

i could talk myself into white.

but i would rather fall to black

and strangle you in our love-bed

than stay in this grey uncertainty

of a hand reaching in complete darkness.

in lieu of presence

happy mothers day, moms of the world.

especially this one.

burger grooming

yolk-soaked and lapped up

and in

slow

and slick.

each one

groped

by meat-stained teeth;

buffed with

a porked tongue.

wringed lips to fit

a gaped greasy grin.

i remembered it later

in onerous night,

your fingers in my mouth.
