Is This What You Want? MAG
May 24, 2019
Mr. Editor,
please tell me
what it means
to love poetry
Is it to dine with her
over cheese and wine
starry-eyed as I imagine us
happily aged with new lines
or caress each stressed foot
in a bath, easing away cramps
under the intimate moonlight
of a flickering desk lamp
perhaps even dancing a delicate tango
along voluptuous curves that jut?
My bony fingers wander,
finding ways to cut
and break, holding back tears,
as I slash her paper spine
with my insatiable ballpoint,
leaking crimson from the crime.
