I Do Not Understand This Extermination You Have Performed in Me
Through the thickest parts
of night's veins
we crawled
clinging to each other,
but you still cannot see
my animals have died at your door.
You will not let me impale my hunger
on your razor stare.
You cannot hear my bones
crying to you.
Nothing can connect me to you.
We drop into craters of time,
rock jaws sleeping in serpent skin.
In the tangled music of
broken shadows we
strangle our lives
