into our love, i'll fall

this sacred eyesore nevus, this cratered hurt.

so scabbed and dark,  this righteous indignation
pockmarked broke, and dirty spark.
deformed.

this buckled malformation,

i weeping willow, mounded ash.

adore my venom sweetness,  and paw this brow

of slash.  i'll be your true

annihilate, no comfort

come with blight, i'll be your wicked mercy,

caressing open, reptile bite.

into our love.  i fall.

Laquer me

ours.
you laquered me in tender.
pretty, patient,

holding out.  that doubt would lie
you powdered me in the grit
of your nerve, and the madness of

sunned bone on black.  it was here, it was there
you waited.

ours.

the prowess of lovers

howls promise

cackles fright,
frigid squalling, and you.  liberating,
you dispossessed.

the skin of my protection scaled and
peeled with judas kiss.  the giveaway true failing.
