Cold-Blooded Heart of Gold
An Audio Poem

cold-blooded — heart heavy
sweet girl turned woman
turned goddess
turned flashback to
“golden time of day.”
in captivity, you led a
whole life — broken from
all others who managed
to beat you blue.
waiting for the thaw,
we watch you bloom,
deflowered in purple rain.
we want to suckle
at the dew dripping
from your lips — lost lovers
falling from your
wind.
yes, you — just like us,
only “wanna be loved.”
