adam eve & lili

In a time where night passed day,

when my young mouth
shuddered around him..

there was a baby, forged within
sexual cat scratches
and hit-and-runs

we didn't keep it

he gave me wings -using
a doorknob to cut
a line down my back


I flew violently into a wall
and then another, another
til there was on tile
and a door


(I found) the wings weren't wings
just dirty sheets from
where he found me
made of filth, in bubbling hot water
naked except for stares

the cut he made with the doorknob

left a flaw, a deep one,
like a tunnel through my
chest, an exit from my
back

I waited years for it to
change from rigid, brownish pink
back to skin again,

before i picked someone
new to love

I killed him before I killed him
I broke the ribs we shared

he's gone now to the promise but

I still drink the blood of memories
