what you loved about her the most is
that she would let you
she would let you do anything
you’d take her body
and you could do what you wanted
she was born as meat on a platter
preparing women, carving men, chewing men
and you thought it doesn’t get better than this
a woman without resistance
a girl who was taught to say yes only
a body to be filled, to be taken, to be exhausted
exploiting whole buffets
servitude masticate eyelashes toothache lying down
girl inside lullaby hunger set aside chopping sinkhair
tolerate screenlife fingertips lecherous theatrical applause
nightmare red number bang bang tick tock I’ll get you there
smokescreen motherface cheeks banisterchild umbrella ice cream
remains urnwhisper casualties alphabet charcoal fingernails
cigarette buds eardrums puppeteer misanthrope puddlewords
car rides tree trunk garbage hiding places vacant gaze slipperterror
what he looked for in women
he would find in girls as well
