when the light shifts
I attach my mouth to the breach in her neck
a bolt of comfort shoots her spine into ecstasy
I remove my lips and words roll across in the tone of a tender memoir
she shifts into the lather
as the spiders in my fingertips
dance along the ridge of her denim encampment
close enough to feel the hearts labor increase
far enough away to deny any responsibility the inner circles chambermaids
might try to stamp in my passport
years of apologetic instinct rallies have failed to convince me
that these animals tremble less with sorrow than with delight
when they crush your humbled offerings in the backseat of a tragedy
I will pursue the flesh
and any darkened corner in the upscale part of their psyches
permanently disfigure their ability to function in daylight
as a shovel uncovers the hope chest buried in a poppy field
I will smoke thunderclouds
tear the delicate strap across her shoulder blades with my incisors
cusp the tender rhythm between these rugged claws
and tend to the responsibilities of a justice
that we must carve out for ourselves
