dear god,
let me be kind.
feel the sun on my back like
the warmth of a fathers hug.
let me kiss the antelope goodbye and
let the coyotes welcome me into their arms.
let the drums play high and the
fire burn low
and let me never see your face again.
dear god you
rip open stitches that
dissolved long ago
dear god i miss you dear god i love you
you build a place for me in the world
and rip me from it like a child
you build my body like grapes to wine and
outlaw wine and all that fits it.
dear god you hate me
you hate my home and you
hate my body and
you said youd loved me longer than stardust
but how can the universe love itself the
diamond sees it's imperfection and it
dances around them so the dealer sells it
whole. sell me whole. i am not worth
parts and parts.
eat me,
tear me limb from limb and cry over my blood
and you won't love me anymore because
i am no more than a fair pig and
you the judge tear my organs from my
body
and devour them you want to you want to you
cannibalism is an act of love
cannibalism is an act of love and i love you.
sincerely,
-icarus
