revulsion-15.10.19
a call, coffee
you start unpacking all your luggage
for me to carry
not that I am worthy
you explain
detail
medicate
AWAY
demon’s personality?
 hear the
the things
you say
they don’t make sense
not seeing evidence
double-edged stiletto
and a dime bag
betwixt worlds
love lost
revulsion
fills the
space
Give me
valise chuffed
with sorrow and regret
Revulsion: a sense of disgust and loathing
I’ll take
your revulsion
too
bitter truths better
than
sweet lies
revulsion

Wahala 16.01.18-later

I went to sleep to 
your thousand and one  sorrows
awoke  to your troubles
some begged 
some borrowed
some stolen
cured your disease 
perfected my  disease
kept each other secret
you said 
you were  a tattoo 
Tarroo: 1 : a mark, figure, design, or word intentionally fixed or placed  2) a mark on soul akin to a scar

on me soul
no
scabs on me arm
I passed you 
tonight 
at the hotel
where they celebrated you
SO pretty
SO talented
best lay in the city
went to the bar
you were right 
tattoo
Wahala


WAHALA: trouble, annoyance and headache, all rolled into one2) a bit of hart break even though you know better

The Others: Men who used her and treated her badly

personified
betray her?
because
I could
because
she said I would

because
cowgirls can’t live underground
because
mermaids exist
because
I am that man
