desired absence

[up all night]

I have fallen a long way; darkness is God
and controls the length of shadows.
I am no-one here,
free to carelessly engorge myself
on the heart’s cruelty.

Red knees from cuckolded men
rise to my spleen and lust tastes like loyalty.
She has already stolen you,
which makes me laugh through the pain.

Is this all you wanted to show?
I have kopecks and promises too
but no need to remove myself from God’s arms.
You have no reason to be here; go home.

Time stole you once
and you surrendered accordingly.
So please leave me to my frilled necks
and fluted necklines.
I seek my God, and you are not he.

so touching. the whole thing is just brilliant.

^^ Agreed. Stylistically it's quite a departure from other stuff of yours that I've read... but it's so assured, so measured, and cuts like a knife.

Not that im encouraging, but maybe drink more
