Filthy Pink
You kissed me on
the forehead with your
florist butcher’s fingers,
made me feel like
gravity
across the whole
room, a saucy
wet grimace
for the asking.
Thick spider veins
walked me down
the center aisle
forever tripping
on their own eight legs.
You said this might last
forever. I didn’t
believe you, but chose
to take it
in glamour and stride.
We can’t make
a new slice of cake
for the clean brothers
who dumped theirs
down the floor, plus
at the same time
managed to arrive
on cue to absorb this
dramatic masquerade.
The latest family
puzzle passes by
unveiled and unannounced,
another new piece
for the holy war.
Anyone
can determine the end
of this championship story
and welcome the dogs
back through the door,
never quite satisfied
or noticed or
adequately fed.
