because I swish bourbon and brood deep
his melody is reduced to utter anxiety
unnecessary noise
no man has the power to assemble
this toy angel
no charitable magic
can annihilate this shadowy abyss
your blessed thrusting, while charismatic,
is not enough
to light me up
stoic and self-destructive
I confront sex
an indifferent victim
