The Body - Nina Nastasia

My blood for you

My lover’s bruise

My clothes are scattered

My skull is fractured

One lock of your hair

In my grip

Tears on my lip

Cut from my bit

My gaze can not keep

Freckled and green

Whirling over chills

Of my morning

Why did you do it?

Why did you?

While i was pleasing?

Will i be waiting?

Giant caws blow

Through the switches

We are heirs

Who’s not a coward?

All await

The eyes to cloud

For the will

To leave the birches
