The Cancer of Eden
Life is only the least bit careless.
My eye lids sleep.
Your lips ripple under their flush of blood
And were too tired to skip so we stumble.
We stomp and mouth our whispers, stage whispers
through the holes in ships,
pyramids of ceder, treaded on like the waves
knead our malleable skin
palpable, temptations
no longer temptations,
no, not the tempest of the garden
The feathered unkempt strands of fibers
of the garden of eden drenched in
plaque and scum and oil.
Lapping at our feathers, our down
in your hand like
I dont know if your a good man.
If your on my side or not and
most likely,
most likely will never be.
Because What i fear, i fear that you are
An opinionated boy.
That you re-arrange your words
and make formulas
My formula junkie.
I fear for you in the garden of edens hair.
tentacles, coverded in debris,
coveted by my own jealousy.
I picked it up at sea
like an ache in my own jealousy,
Her tenderness, pacifying touch
Delves into your sloshing soul
with her tendrils and veins and teeth
and that disheveled hair, evidence of
A thousand oil spills, in her teeth
in her bile and breath
You hiccup in your last fit of pleasure
galvanizing, you sputter out her nectar
in adoration.
Your city's new found feracity
(we thought the ocean was empty)
beconed you away
and you left me to my frail, decayed goddess.
She is mine, after all.
You too, though the "fornication"
was more idolatry,
yet,
no treason to the sea.
After all, the sea is a copulating mass,
capable of guiltless satiation.
And you,
You were just a foreign body
embedded in the sovereign.
