RECIPROCAL RECIDIVISM

Really very simple the question you ask

the answer we find together

the truth is I want you to do this to me

and that you enjoy doing it...

You did once.

Now I need another to commit

this violence against me -

A reckless man creature that can

both love & demean -

Invoke silence from scream -

Destroy & Redeem -

Every cold facet that burns down

from my eyes.

I will hold him & count each scar

& kiss them closed & wake them in love -

I will tear down the inner walls between us

until we are one pulsing living thing kept

warm in the shadow of your ever increacing

mandacity.

And as you pass from this world of spines

& thorns & words spoken by fools who loved

what they were never allowed to see of you -

We will weep for your self induced loss & be

ever more grateful that we were able to break

through that bullshit & cover each other with

the primary substance at the core of our vulnerable

human awareness.

We will be essential.
