***<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

I am the one who asks the devils<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

I listen to their belching maliciously<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

I stop in speech just like that<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

so that breath doesn\u2019t recognize the pause I love<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

hell like bread and butter<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

I tear intellect in the inward direction<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

light and cold like in an open office<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

as a child I did not understand why<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

I am not a man better than a man<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

is only a witch<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\n

***<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Falling in love overturning<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

myself<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Struggles in stopping the pulse<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

and consciousness dizzyingly high<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Falling in love opening<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

a man with a knife<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\n

***<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

I take love and squeeze it like a pulpy fruit,<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

yellow, juicy, perhaps slightly over-ripe,<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

seeds flow over my absent hands.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

I take love and I don\u2019t know what to do with it, possibilities,<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

bored by attention and apparent ease,<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

yes, overly self serving, satiated to the brim.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

I hold it by the hips and feel its genitalia<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

exorcism still hasn\u2019t ended, I laugh.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

I tolerate meat, I breathe dry moss<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
