Call Me Not Back
call me not back
thru loveless dirt-strewn streets
thru eddying pools of summer want
i go not that way again/
call me not back
with eyes diamond-glazed by silent hallway lusts
with dark pubic pressures on sheets of fire
with the tender heat of small rose-nippled breasts
i go not that way again/
for now is winter
and i have seen blind children weep
on bruised knees
around a frozen pond/
with this sight my heart and feet are ice
and i can
go not that way again/
