-when to ravage you-


telling

the way your hair
falls without screaming
into the arc
of your neck

and yet
how it deafens

the loosening ache
of your thighs

-kingdom-



  when at     times     my hand

enough     deficient

to regrow     stem

cut
of daffodil

a bee

stuck     blood
dry
at the toe

  a drop of     your crazy
