The Other Stone
The longitude of this lust
Has thwarted me into silence
And the flowery relapse of submission
I love you with all the peppery violence
And I’m bartering for your permission
The putrid evidence
Of unfinished sentiment,
A bloodthirsty Dracula, but I’m just a girl
And you robbed me
Shanked my heart,
And declawed me
My ship’s boards leak as we go down, but I’m game
I’ll mop up my tears, give over every pearl
Just to have your name
Next to mine on the grave, is it asking a lot
For yours to be the other stone
Resting in my plot
