To have
to hold
to take
to steal
to grab
to hurt
to speak
to love
is there giving
after taking,
can heart-speak
follow force?
Soul stick
sick
the predator-gaze
beseeching
the taking tongue
turns sweet
all you have is mine
sway and assuage
persuade
we enter and violate each other
at that instant
of terrible vulnerability
of hurt
we cannot defend
***
long case shadows
endlessly ripple
on the waves
is there forgiveness?
gift of reparation?
can i speak to you, heart
or do we
hover
on the edge of extinction
mother upon child?
