For Elizabeth
requires nothing
hungers
like a dog
begs for more
until every glass
start singing
but it turns
your movements
your hair becomes
will feed it
to a friend
hate her a little
it’s started again
sorry puppet
your jaw
ravenous waiting
with emptiness
almost ask it
nip at your ankles
taut leash
first halt
hates bees
like a dog
vomits on your shoes
sucks milk
is dry
or at least
cakes your skin
become monstrous
wild like its
while you’re gone
who can’t have any
stupid infertile bitch
it’s put on
stuffing your face
an aching drawbridge
for the house
to wake up
push you down
your paces align
then heel
prefers empty hives
eats too fast
licks it up
from solitude’s straws
so you think it might
fall asleep
to mud
like it
mind no one
you can’t lend it
it makes you
what are you saying
your skin now
with nothing
it won’t shut
to flood
until you choke
to have something
on the floor
you learn
then stay
