God's girlfriend
1. Pillow Talk
I woke up this morning and you were a wet dream
That forgot it wasn’t supposed to be real.
I walked home still covered in the sugary grime
Of your flesh memory.
It won’t scrub off in the shower.
You’re stronger than soap.
2. Ebony
Heavy with the ink of one long perverted love poem I didn’t mean to write,
These pages scream, echoing like bells.
Do you picture me with black hair?
3. Siren Song
I got lost in you
While drowning on recycled breath
In the cradle between your shoulder blades.
can you remember a time when we didn’t do this?
We loved each other, didn’t we?
I’d forgotten.
4. Gods girlfriend
My journal is you.
I see it in the shuddery stilted way
I scraped my hand across the page.
(like a cup kisses concrete)
I consumed the cut glass validation you offered,
Cutting my lips on each caress.
I’ve been wasting time.
The ink knows.
