stab in the dark

                          guess

if it’s high or low tonight

hover like a stone float like a lamplight

                          caress

cat waits for his nook while i curse

dog moans cause she’s always got it
               so fucking much worse

 

coverlet bed let me down

muscles let me down

god another letdown

it’s better to break bone fast than slow i’ve found

 

from toe to

                          a needle-nestled ankle

               a tingle-flank knee

to shoulder again this misery

 

put the pillow in her place

cat waits

is this a curse

 

cat waits
