Wreck your image


While my legs spread

spitting on your dick

planning your aim

your image.


While my legs spread

picking at your lip,

stitches itching, crowding

your image.


While my legs spread

pushing out our child

still scratching, smoking

your image.


While my legs spread

bathing in witch hazel

engulfed, mother

your image.


While my legs spread

letting every other

one adore,

your image.


While my legs spread

you find money

disregarding

your image.


While my legs spread

you get a mortgage

build a swing set, calming

your image. 

To Fit This Girl


Understanding exploitation,

sheltering that girl lakeside 

a terrain boasting battered,

broken pieces.


Gluing the fault line together,

as the breaching traverses the veil,

the black and tan.


Framing the shards, breathing injury, 

encapsulating damage.  

Shattering obstruction, tilting stone,

a fracture made to fit this girl.


A threshold to an expanse inside.

A place known at length

to those expended, thrown

against epoch emerging

holy resistant.


Requiring a region of magnanimous 

extension.  

Widening, thickening roots.
