The Concealment

There are things the heart remembers

A lean in,
the flat line


The years unfurl,
the shaking subsides


Onyx-tarnished tulips all cast aside


We are here now,
where small animals curl up
and gather


And this, my love,
is all that matters


25 mins

he's coming

in twenty five minutes
death-lover
churner of innards

he's coming
in bells and whistles
white hands
my tattooed fate
and i'll swoon over him
offer some leftovers

but it will be too late
