Poison Poem
Apr 20, 2024
a breach grows wider
each day between us
you know
i know
it is poison
we’d rather drink from tide pools of strychnine
instead of water
poison
rather than a warm,
embrace,
a love supreme
poison
you know
i know
it is poison
yet our days
would go unfulfilled
without swilling
what separates us
poison
i touch your arm
it incinerates to ash
poison
you stare into stone
when I pass your way
poison
you know
i know
about poison
and yet we drink
the elixir of madness
like there’s no
tomorrow
