Black Tar

[orpheusrabbit]

Waking up soapy-smelling
    and sore next to you
I was victim of an accident, a
    wreck waiting to happen

I was doing shots of you
But i didn't quit
    when i needed to
Then you were too much
    in my blood--
Neither of us belonged behind
    that wheel...

Our love had been combustion,
    but the engine stalled
In the alley behind

thanks. sorta a mothball-duster, but i think i like the way it turned out.

FYI

in case you aren't in the know...this is about javier, my ex. he's ancient history now really, but after the last poem i wrote, i started thinking about these snippets i had written about him and decided it was high time i stitched them into a nice quilt or something...so with the advantages of time and distance (and verb-tense-synching) i put together what you see today.

True that my brother more times than I can count

"Burned brighter than mortal understanding
and i, Prometheus
Laid damned then for demanding"
very nice line...

Love you
