Stale Love

SHARE:

stale love -fi

Stinking and rotting
HEAVY WEARY garments
falling off
In serpentine stickiness

Clings and stifles
the suggestions
of luring eyes
Dryness…
you give it from your lips

Gestures become
poisonous
You satiating me
Desires struggle
Devour themselves
…within them

The fulfillment lags
Drags
Traces mechanical patterns
Heaving sighs
with a living picture of pain
that tosses
and turns

Let’s move away
The love is at an end.
