a poem by Jane Chakravarthy
Union
Close your eyes
baby, close
shallow breaths now,
stillness aware
I will hold
you, now
mine, I will
beat you
white, black, blue
my friend
you will become
true again
dark, strong fingers
take mine
bodies close become
one, now
I will beat,
love, you
throw you to
grey floor
castrate you, hold
you down
rape you on
warm shore
you'll cry and
I'll scream
you desecrate my
only dreams
as you did
before
crimson arrow trails,
tattle too
arms around me,
tracks upon
my throat, debased
smiling, content
now, I'm me
or you
are we one
like before?
strangle my soul
it's yours
baby, close
stillness aware
you, now
beat you
my friend
true again
take mine
one, now
love, you
grey floor
you down
warm shore
I'll scream
only dreams
before
tattle too
tracks upon
smiling, content
or you
like before?
it's yours
