until I’m bones garnished with 
diamond apologies      carbon cut carcass and
crafty monopolies        I ate all your praise
and out popped a girl   talon scratched face
a man of his word         here have my elbow, my knee
all my curves                 fingernails fate lines
                                morning screams sound like birds
one drop of medicine   i’m  recommended dose
they’ll sweetly drown    you if you get too close
caw me, don’t caw me   I’m praying please raw me
lick the mirrors of my eyes til they’re spit white 
with envy                 take all you want, my heads
just keep growing, my pussy, my passions, they’re grown
for the mowing         sex and forget me knots

a silent film premieres and you’ve
cleared the crowd.           I barely hear crickets or the sound of a 
plan that’s gone too far south         can’t even hear you choking on my
big girl panties          in your mouth
