born of filthy chemical collusions
you enjoyed the blood of the easy game
but that dam gave way ages ago and now
it chafes and eats my ash raw and dry
smoking like phosphorous on your teeth
a diuretic for the eyes
if you catch my drift
on our first date you insisted we go
moonwalking on dry ice
half of the footprints now misplaced
melted away in my memory
it was so cold
you were so warm
try to understand
