THEY SAID
SHE WAS BLIND
— ED by the virility in his skin,
lit and scorched by Midas himselfTHAT
SHE CHOKED
on his nobility,
plumes of swindled words,
even though what she saw was
pure sweetness of a plumcarved and full, heavy
all light and divinity
glorious soul from the Heaven's
tied to hersthough at the end of the day
what she came to understand was
— THEY WERE RIGHTBECAUSE YOU LIED
STUBBORN RESISTANT ME ALL ROSE-TINTED AND POLISHED
YOU
MY BONES MOANED AND SHOOK
PETRIFIED
TO REACH OUT
TO SEARCH FOR —
ANYTHING, SOMETHING!It astonishes me how I once let you touch my skin.
