prologue to medea

February 23, 2008

i want to be given

to the flames    of lust

                    broken by desire

                                                                loving you

                                                          is an early death

                                                               i walk to

                  O Mars,

           father of ecstasy

                    & war

                                                   raw honey of your skin

                                                                            my poison

                        rose dusk of lips

                     tongue teeth breath

                                i mark you with pomegranate rain;

                                                         claiming your flesh

                                                                  your chaos:

               

                                                                                     my own
