Courtship

He turned me down

I then downturned another

Who then downturned her

The paralysing juice of rejection

His veins full of lead

He's left with loving what he lost

More than what he has

My snakeskin, cold in the dark

But warms up in the light

I then upturned a green-eyed giant

Who upturned and entered me

Will we stop seeing what unites us

But only what differs?

Ghosts of old loves

Hovering around his orifices

His orifices

As you narrate your own heart-tale

You thread souls into one beam

The love you gave and have been given

To weave into your own dream

I trust myself to re-archive

My love historic stream
