Desire heeds no secrets
I lick cancerous tears
Cheat on cheating defense
To scare these lonely years
The rigor of my promise
& my hairless bones
My jealous fears can't surface
To ease my worthless home
Desire heeds no secrets
Faucets fill bucket heads
& rooftops glimmer, winter
To be there cold, and dead
The choices pain the marked
For executions grace
Reality paints the darkened
Corners of imagined rage
Lost in the crowds I'm lonely
As the deaf child, absolved
I catch glimpses, lovely
Of hopes that come to call
