through the
ten thousand matches
you burn
into my arms.
As you make me
step on your
face-laying
in a tablespoon
of alcohol.
You
cough and sputter
gasoline
into my eyes,
then light a fire
to produce tears.
I pick through
your happiness
and eat your
insecurities,
wiping my mouth
with a blood staind
napkin.
Invisible gray hairs
are plucked
from you head
by the crunching
of a car.
I watch your
jaw
drip down
leaving stains
on your shirt
that remind me
of tender connection.
Red lips
slide down-your body
and bite out
your liver
leaving scars.
I love you
as you laugh
at the gun,
teasing it
till it fires,
leaving me alone
to play with
matches
as I watch
you burn.
