You Brought Me A Pumpkin
by
Crystal Dawn Allen
Strangled by your shivering caresses
and never wanting to breathe again
You brought me a pumpkin, still crusted with dirt from
the garden, you brought me
roses, hot and pink, with their heady scent of
humid underground kisses,
succubi in the shade.
You brought me caramels, melting on my tongue
and in my heart, you were, sweet velvet love, you were
smoother than wine
to me
You crossed the railroad tracks after midnight, in the dark,
and stayed with me by the graveyard
until the bones were all dug up.
