TFW YOU WANT TO FUCK WITH THEM FROM NOW UP INTO FOREVER, but all signs and wonders, Urim and Thummim, emails and texts, no email no texts, using the good-got-damn-sense your mother gave you not the repeating the mistakes your father braided, tell you to keep things cute and quick. ¡Presta atencíon!

Numbers 31:19

did you clean yourself
you who has touched
who has violated my pen
has salted my tongue
drugged my drink
slain with the blade
of lack of empathy
a ladder like love leans
outside of time
goes up and down
through the same insistence
Easier to be angry than afraid, easier to brace guilt rather than test sick with intimate.
