Literature Text

there is love inside the floorboards
turned upside-down and backwards
writhing like mad dogs
kenneled in metal crates.
the love has since dissolved into bones
for the parasites to eat.
can you stomach my tapeworms,
my fluttering heart pumping faster?

-

that's alright.
neither can i.
i've hacked it up
all over the used wood and
oh i'm sorry
love's all soiled and spoiled now,
flush with the ground
like the freon cold out the hotel door
or the white rocket fade over cape canaveral
you've been a daughter to me
your buried shoe-box grief
i felt your poltergeist love like savannah heat
while the waterfall was pouring
crazy symbols of my destiny....

i like melancholy songs lately they make my heart all loving
i like you too, okay?
